Trump backs supply of Patriot systems to Ukraine amid intensifying threats.
On July 5, President Trump publicly stressed that Ukraine urgently needs Patriot missile systems, praising their effectiveness amid Kremlin’s ongoing drone and missile aggression.
He reaffirmed support for enhanced air defence after his “meaningful” conversation with Zelensky, citing continued coordination with Germany’s Chancellor Merz on potential Patriot deliveries.
The statements signal renewed momentum following a pause in U.S. arms shipments that had alarmed Kyiv and Western allies; Trump criticized the delay but hinted at reversing it.
In related remarks, Trump condemned Putin for refusing ceasefire talks, declaring his call with the Russian president “no good” and underscoring Ukraine’s need for robust defence.
