US President Donald Trump claims to sell patriot weapon systems to the European Union so that they can be delivered to Ukraine. Washington does not want to pay for it.
The coming hours can be crucial for the further support of Ukraine in the war against Russia. The Republican announced with great words: “For us this will be a company and we will send you patriots that you urgently need.” The number of weapons has not yet been established, the president said. “The EU pays for it. We pay nothing, but we will deliver,” he assured. Which countries must be asked to view, remained open.
Trump promised a meeting with NATO Secretary -General Mark Rutte (10.00 local time) on Monday. According to an American media report, the 79-year-old also wants to explain his Russian policy today. Moreover, Trump’s special representative Keith Kellogg is expected today for conversations in Kiev. Moreover, the German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius wants to talk in Washington about the further support of Ukraine.
The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had announced a few days ago in Rome that Germany wants to buy air defense systems from the Patriot Air Defense Systems to make them available for Ukraine against Russia in the war. Ukraine requires more help from the West to help the massive Russian shelling with drones and rockets.
US Senator indicates possible changes to the Russian course
The influential Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham, before Trump’s recent announcement of Patriot deliveries, introduced a possible change in Russia’s policy. “A turning point with regard to the Russian invasion in Ukraine is imminent,” he announced on Sunday to the American television station CBS. Trump has tried to bring Kremlin Chief Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table for months. “He kept the door open with regard to Russia – this door can be closed,” said Graham. Putin expected the United States and Europe to be tired. “He made a big mistake.”
The American president himself was also increasingly disappointed about Putin because he opposed Trump’s attempts to negotiate a truce. “We will send your patriots that urgently needs you, because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nicely and bombards everyone in the evening,” says Trump on Sunday. “But there is a small problem. I don’t like that.”
Pistorius travels to Washington
Minister of Defense Pistorius wants to advise his American colleague Pete Hegseeth in Washington on the further support of Ukraine and military cooperation in NATO. It is his first visit to the United States since the government took office in January by US President Trump. NATO Secretary -General Rutte wants to come together with Trump for an interview. Meete Minister Marco Rubio and Minister of Defense Hegseeth are also planned.
Senskyj: Count in America
With regard to the possible changes in American politics, Ukrainian President Wolodyymyr Senskyj expected “positive changes” for the interests of his country. The leading army of Ukraine has been instructed to present the American special officer Kellogg “who” presented us to us about the potential of Russia and our perspectives, “said Senskyj in his evening video address. The secret services would also offer Kellogg” complete information “to be done that America is fully understand.”
