Trump Approves Patriot Missile Support for Ukraine Amid Rising Tensions with Putin. U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that his administration will send Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, calling them essential to defending against Russia's continued attacks. Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin "talks nice" but "bombs everybody in the evening,” expressing frustration over Putin's refusal to agree to a ceasefire. While Trump didn't say how many missile systems would be sent, he emphasized that the European Union would cover the full cost. The move follows fresh appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for stronger air defenses amid near-daily missile and drone strikes by Russia. Trump added that Ukraine will also receive "very sophisticated military equipment," with the U.S. expecting full reimbursement.
