+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Ukraine: Raffinerie und Militärflugplatz in Südwestrussland angegriffen

According to US President Donald Trump, the "Financial Times" remains uncertain about whether he is granting Ukraine the license to manufacture its own Patriot missile defense systems. Trump mentioned this during a phone call with the Financial Times, adding that the weapon is highly exceptional, and they must be cautious in who they provide the license to.

The US did not officially license the equipment at the NATO summit in July. President Trump received Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House two days ago, who later reported a good meeting. Ukraine aims to better defend itself against Russian airstrikes with the help of Patriots. Stefanischyna emphasized that Ukraine urgently needs the missiles to protect itself from the increasing Russian attacks.

Representatives of the "Patriot" manufacturer Raytheon Co. have already been in Ukraine, and Lockheed Martin Corp., which produces the PAC-3 intercept missiles for the air defense system, is working to send another expert team to the country. "The devastating impact of each nightly attack is currently unbelievable," Stefanischyna said. "Last night and the night before were 30 to 40 ballistic missiles."
