Trump's administration plans to send Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine due to frustration over Putin's tactics. The Patriot systems are deemed necessary by Trump for Ukrainian protection against continued aggression. Despite expressing a commitment to negotiate peace, Putin rejected proposals for a ceasefire. Trump criticized Putin's dual approach of being cordial while continuing military operations. Trump's growing frustrations are echoed by his intentions to provide not just defensive, but potential offensive weapons to aid Ukraine in the conflict.
We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Sunday.
Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening, Trump said.
I don't like it. Trump's comments come after he last week confirmed that his administration had decided to sell weapons to NATO allies in Europe.
Trump has expressed growing frustration with Putin's refusal to agree to a peace deal.
