President Donald Trump announced that the United States will provide Ukraine with Patriot missile defense systems. The American leader stated that European Union officials would cover the costs of this military aid, though he didn't specify the exact number of systems to be delivered.
Speaking to reporters, Trump also repeated his criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Putin has shocked many people," Trump remarked. "He talks pleasantly but then launches attacks at night. This troubling pattern is emerging, and I'm not pleased with it."
