Trump: Ukraine requests the US to provide a "Patriot" air defense missile battery, but the "Patriot" is expensive and scarce
US President Trump said on July 9 at the White House that the issue of increasing the delivery of a "Patriot" air defense missile battery requested by Kyiv will be studied, but this system is costly and scarce.
Trump said, "They (Ukraine) want 'Patriots'. In fact, 'Patriots' are quite scarce because many 'Patriots' have been sent to Ukraine. But as far as I know, they have made the request. We will assess it. It's an extremely expensive equipment system."
Trump expressed regret about having to continue spending large amounts of money to provide military aid to Ukraine. He said, "It really hurts."
