The United States plans to provide Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine to enhance its defenses in the ongoing conflict with Russia. President Trump emphasized the urgent need for these systems due to the unpredictable actions of Russian President Putin. Despite previous commitments to resolve the conflict, Trump's attempts at negotiation have not succeeded. The financial burden of the military equipment will be covered entirely by NATO and the European Union. This decision follows concerns about dwindling US military stockpiles and efforts to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities.
"We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening."
"The delivery of Patriot missiles would be paid for by NATO and the European Union. We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military equipment."
