US President Donald Trump has expressed openness to supplying additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine following requests from基辅. During a press conference in The Hague after meeting with Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky, Trump acknowledged the difficulty of acquiring these systems, noting that the US also requires them for its own defense. He stated the administration would “see if we can make some of them available,” as some Patriots are being sent to Israel. Zelensky, however, emphasized that Ukraine was ready to purchase the systems and support American manufacturers if the US could not provide them for free. The Trump administration had previously dismissed Ukraine’s $5 billion funding proposal for additional Patriot systems as a “pipedream.” Meanwhile, Trump continues to advocate for a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine conflict, expressing a desire to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the hostilities. Moscow, however, insists that any lasting agreement must reflect the current battlefield realities and establish Ukrainian neutrality.
