US President Donald Trump says the Patriot missile has become very important to ensure Ukraine's sky defense. At the same time, he expressed disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin and alleged that Putin was not showing any interest in stopping the war. The news agency Reuters reports this information.
Talking to reporters at Air Force One on Friday, Trump said, “I have had a talk with Ukraine President Volodimir Zensky. But my previous day's phone calls with Putin were absolutely disappointing. '
“Putin just wants to continue the war, people want to kill people – it's not acceptable at all,” Trump said. Asked about the Patriot missile in Ukraine's sky defense, President Trump said, “They need something. Because they are being severely attacked. Patriot is a great missile. It's really nice weapon. '
Jensky later said in the telegram that joint defense production, purchase and investment with the United States were discussed in detail. “We will sit in the meeting quickly to discuss the defense of the sky,” he said. The Trump administration has temporarily stopped the supply of some weapons in Ukraine. As a result, Ukraine fears that it will be difficult to prevent Russian progress on the airstrikes and battlefields.
In this context, Germany has taken initiative to collect new Patriot missiles. Trump himself spoke to German Chancellor Frederick Mercury, though the final decision has not yet been made.
Hours after Putin's phone call with Trump, Russia launched a massive drone attack on Kiev. Gelnsky describes it as a 'deliberate and shameless attack'.
A US source has told Reuters that Trump-Gensky's 5-minute phone call was 'very positive' and this has created hope to resume the Patriot missile supply. After the phone call, Jensky said in a speech, “Joint production has been discussed in detail. It's not just us, but also America. '
In fact, during the reign of former President Joe Biden, the United States provided Patriot batteries and ammunition to assist Ukraine. Trump then criticized Biden for 'sending weapons without taking anything in exchange'. Returning to power, Trump is building a new outline of US relations with Ukraine, including cooperation re -evaluation and realistic exchange.
Patriot missiles and advanced air defense systems are now the biggest sought in Ukraine in the face of growing attacks in Russia. But the Trump administration is still making strategic decisions. Analysts say Trump's heated relations with Putin and a security deal with Ukraine may change the war on the weeks in the weeks. However, negotiations with Gelnsky have indicated new possibilities surrounding the context of Patriot.
