US President Donald Trump has said he will send additional Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, adding that the deliveries will be paid for by the EU. The announcement came days after the Pentagon reversed its decision to halt some military aid.
“We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because [Russian President Vladimir] Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening. But there’s a little bit of a problem there. I don’t like it,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington on Sunday evening.
The US president did not clarify whether he was speaking only about ammunition for the Patriots or also the air defense systems.
