Donald Trump said Wednesday he may allow Ukraine to produce desperately needed Patriot interceptor missiles.
The potential deal came on the sidelines of the second day of the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, where Zelenskyy and Trump discussed ways to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses and possible means to end the war.
The last week has been especially dangerous, with intensified ballistic attacks on Kyiv and other cities – and signals that Ukraine is either low or even out of anti-missile interceptors.
Yesterday, Russia launched the third ballistic missile attack on the capital in a week, while Ukraine is left with almost no capabilities to shoot down those targets.
