Trump Pledges Patriot Missiles for Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday his intention to provide Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, emphasizing their critical role in the nation’s defense. He criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating, “He speaks kindly but resorts to bombing everyone by night.”
While Trump did not specify the quantity of Patriot missiles to be sent, he mentioned that the European Union would reimburse the United States for the expenses incurred. The U.S. president’s frustration with Putin has heightened, attributed to the Russian leader’s refusal to engage in ceasefire negotiations involving Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has reiterated his country’s pressing need for enhanced defensive resources to combat the ongoing missile and drone strikes from Russia.
“We are preparing to deliver Patriots that they urgently require because Putin has astonished many. He presents himself amiably but attacks everyone when it gets dark. That’s unfortunate,” Trump stated to reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington.
He further added, “We will provide them with various advanced military assets, and they will cover the total cost, which is our desired approach.”
This week, Trump is expected to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to address issues related to Ukraine and other pertinent topics.
