Washington Post: Ukraine must pay for the Patriots

Ukrainian President Wajodimir Zelksky has increased in recent months asking Washington to provide more Patriot missiles.

Kiev believes that the current US government, led by Donald Trump, no longer gives Patriot missiles to Ukraine for free, but is ready to sell these air defense systems and ammunition to Kiev, according to a senior Ukrainian official.

“They think like businessmen,” the Washington Post also quoted the Ukrainian official. If I give you something, you have to give it something. “

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently told lawmakers at the Senate Summit: “Kiev has asked the Trump administration to call for air defense systems and missiles as military assistance. But honestly, we don’t have this equipment. “

“Instead, Washington is seeking to give US -made ammunition to Ukraine, but none of these countries want to provide their own Patriot systems to Ukraine,” Rubio added. We can’t force them either. “

Trump expressed a growing dissatisfaction with the speed of Ukrainian peace talks on the Social Truth Social Network and continued to Zelnsky’s tone that “is not useful for Ukraine.”

The US president went on to add that “everything that comes out of Zelksky’s mouth creates problems, I don’t like it and it is better to stop.”

He further criticized the increase in Russian attacks on Ukraine, claiming that “these attacks are taking place for no reason.”
