“President Donald Trump said the United States will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine that will be reimbursed for by the European Union, offering critical help to Kyiv as it battles an onslaught of Russian drone attacks,” USA Today reports.
Said Trump: “We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need. Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening… there’s a little bit of a problem there. I don’t like it.”
