US President Donald Trump has said Patriot missile defense systems will be sent to Ukraine to support its efforts to repel Russia. Coming just weeks after arms shipments were paused by the Trump administration, the arrangement will, according to the US president, see the EU pay the US for the weapons systems that it sends onto Ukraine. There is, as yet, no confirmation on the number of Patriot units that will be sent, or on any other US arms that may be dispatched. However, Germany has agreed to foot the bill for at least two Patriot batteries. "We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military and they're going to pay us 100 percent for them," Trump said. The announcement came as US special envoy to the Ukraine and Russia, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, arrived in Ukraine's capital Kyiv for a week of talks with local officials. The US supplied Patriots to Ukraine under former US President Joe Biden's administration.
