  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Friday that US President Donald Trump had made a \"final decision\" to allow Ukraine to produce Patriot missile licences domestically, potentially bolstering Kyiv's air-defence capabilities over the long term. Zelenskyy disclosed this during a meeting with AFP. This announcement comes after weeks of uncertainty over the proposal, which initially seemed uncertain due to Trump's apparent change of mind. The leaders discussed potential de-escalatory measures during their meeting at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Zelenskyy stated that their teams are still working to establish Patriot interceptor production in Ukraine.",
  "summary": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says US President Donald Trump has made a “final decision” to allow Ukraine to obtain licences to produce Patriot interceptor missiles domestically. The move could strengthen Kyiv’s air-defence capabilities amid a shortage of interceptors.",
