At the recent NATO summit, Trump refrained from committing to assist Ukraine militarily, while Ukrainian allies, especially European countries, pledged substantial support. NATO Secretary-General Rutte announced that over $35 billion has already been pledged this year compared to last year's total of over $50 billion, highlighting a significant increase in European military aid amidst U.S. uncertainties. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed interest in acquiring U.S. Patriot systems, which Trump indicated might be made available if feasible, though their availability is critical due to high global demand.
At The Hague this week, Zelenskyy said he discussed those Patriot systems with Trump. At a news conference on Wednesday, Trump said: We're going to see if we can make some available, referring to interceptors for existing Patriot systems in Ukraine.
