US President Donald Trump, on Sunday, July 13, said that Washington would send Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. Trump, who before getting elected had said that he would stop Russia-Ukraine war immediately, is now apparently arming Ukraine to the teeth in this war.
President Trump said, “We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need. I haven’t agreed on the number yet, but they’re going to have some because they do need protection.”
This is a sharp U-turn from last month when US had said they will pause some of the weapons deliveries to Kyiv.
Mentioning Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said, “Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening.”
