In a surprise announcement, former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed plans to send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, calling it a critical move to counter Russia's military tactics. "Putin talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening," Trump quipped during a press briefing at Joint Base Andrews. 💥
Why It Matters
Ukraine has faced relentless missile and drone attacks from Russia, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urgently requesting advanced defense systems. Trump emphasized the European Union will "reimburse 100%" of the costs, framing it as a win-win for U.S. interests. 💸
What’s Next?
Trump plans to meet NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week to discuss further support for Ukraine. While details on the number of Patriots remain unclear, the move signals heightened Western involvement in the conflict. 🌍⚔️
