фото: Defense Express
US President Donald Trump has instructed his administration to consider options for additional assistance to Ukraine, including the supply of another Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.
This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing government sources.
According to the publication’s sources, the White House has already asked the Pentagon about the possibility of increasing defense support. In addition, the potential of allies is being considered – whether other states can also provide Kyiv with additional batteries.
This initiative of Trump was a response to the worsening security situation and continued Russian attacks on the territory of Ukraine. Previously, the United States had already transferred three Patriot complexes to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, three more were provided by Germany and one by a group of European countries. Some of these systems are currently not working at full capacity due to maintenance.
The Trump administration has not yet officially specified what additional weapons may be transferred. At the same time, Washington recognizes that the new phase of military aid will be directly related to the Kremlin’s further behavior on the front.
Recall that US President Donald Trump probably promised Volodymyr Zelensky to provide Patriot missiles to strengthen Ukrainian air defense.
As reported, the US has decided to resume military assistance to Ukraine , in particular, to provide a new batch of defensive weapons.
In addition, some of the US military aid to Ukraine, which was unexpectedly halted earlier this month, could be unblocked soon. According to sources familiar with the situation, the process could get underway after a series of diplomatic meetings to be held in Italy and Ukraine.
