According to a report by the British 'Financial Times', U.S. President Donald Trump stated he is 'not sure' whether the U.S. government will grant licenses for the construction of Patriot missile systems to Ukraine. Trump told the newspaper that they are reviewing the matter and emphasized the need for caution regarding who receives such licenses, noting that the Patriot system is an extraordinary weapon. The shortage of these systems has worsened since February with the start of the Iran conflict. Earlier this year, at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump announced his country would give Ukraine the right to manufacture Patriots. According to the United Nations, Russia launched ballistic missiles in June that killed the most Ukrainian civilians in a month since April 2022, which can only be intercepted by Patriot systems.
