Trump: US sending Patriot to Ukraine, EU to cover costs DW 07/14/2025
Briefly

The United States plans to supply Ukraine with Patriot air defense systems to support its defense against Russian aggression. Trump indicated such support was essential due to the unpredictability of Russian actions. Despite frustrations with ongoing hostilities and limited US stockpiles, Trump affirmed that NATO and the European Union would cover the costs of the military equipment. Additionally, Ukraine is reportedly nearing a multi-level agreement for receiving new Patriot systems and related missiles, with discussions ongoing among top leaders.
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.
Trump is due to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to discuss Ukraine and other issues on Monday.
The delivery of Patriot missiles would be paid for by NATO and the European Union, Trump said. We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military equipment.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was 'close to reaching a multi-level agreement on new Patriot systems and missiles for them.'
