The US president cited recent Russian strikes as his motive
US President Donald Trump said he would send additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, days after the Pentagon reversed its decision to halt some military aid.
“We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening. But there’s a little bit of a problem there. I don’t like it,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington on Sunday evening.
He made his remarks after multiple US media outlets reported that he was considering approving a new military aid package, which would potentially include both defensive and offensive missiles.
