U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Patriot missiles are necessary not only for Ukraine but also for the United States.
According to Armenpress, he made this remark during a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office, the video of which was shared by Fox News. The reporters asked him to comment on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's statements that Kyiv urgently needs Patriot missile defense systems and long-range missiles.
"We also need missiles," he said, adding that his predecessor, President Joe Biden, had provided Kyiv with $300 billion in ammunition. He noted that after the end of his first presidential term, the weapon stockpiles were full, but most of them have been depleted since he left office. Trump also insisted that he is currently rebuilding all of that and that the U.S. still has sufficient ammunition in its arsenal.
He added that the U.S. is working towards resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and is making progress.
