Trump pledges to send Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine through NATO, despite intensifying Russian attacks and rising civilian casualties. Zelenskyy hails the move as critical for defending cities.
Trump’s statement followed a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had requested 10 Patriot systems amid an unprecedented wave of Russian drone and missile strikes. Germany and Norway have also committed to financing some of the systems.
Despite his previous stance on scaling back aid, Trump cited the urgency of recent attacks—such as the record 728 drones launched against Ukraine in a single night—as justification for resuming weapons support. The U.S. had recently paused some critical shipments, including Patriot interceptors and precision artillery shells, causing concern in Kyiv.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Washington is urging NATO allies like Germany and Spain to transfer existing Patriot batteries to Ukraine for immediate use, while the U.S. helps replenish their stocks. A refurbished battery from Israel is also expected to be deployed soon.
Patriot systems are seen as essential for Ukraine’s layered air defence, supplementing older S-300s and NASAMS. With civilian casualties hitting a three-year high in June, Western allies are acknowledging the urgent need to reinforce Ukraine’s air protection capabilities.
Trump, who has expressed frustration with the lack of progress in peace negotiations with Russia, is expected to make a major announcement about Russia. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, with Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov reportedly discussing new ideas for ending the conflict.
