US President Donald Trump stated that he will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, Reuters reports.
“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.
Trump did not specify the number of Patriot systems he plans to send to Ukraine, but said that the European Union will reimburse the United States for their cost.
“We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military equipment. They are going to pay us 100% for that, and that's the way we want it”, - Trump said.
