The U.S. administration is preparing to transfer licensing rights for the production of Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent, U.S. President Donald Trump made this announcement prior to his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ankara.
Trump said that a little birdie had told him that they were going to transfer the rights to manufacture Patriots to the Ukrainians. He added that they would show them how to do it. He also said that it was actually very complicated, but that they would figure it out quickly.
He added that the Ukrainians would not be able to complain that they were not being given enough missiles because they would be making them themselves.
According to Trump, the licensing issue will be discussed in detail during his meeting with Zelensky. “I like that we’re talking about a defensive situation, not an offensive one,” the U.S. president noted.
