Trump says Ukraine will need Patriot missiles for its defense, chides Putin

  • On July 5, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump spoke aboard Air Force One, expressing frustration over Russian President Vladimir Putin's unwillingness to end the war in Ukraine and hinting at possible Patriot missile support.
  • This was preceded by a frustrating phone conversation on July 3 between Trump and Putin regarding Ukraine, following earlier meetings held in May and June between representatives from Moscow and Kyiv that resulted solely in prisoner swaps.
  • Trump said Ukraine is 'being hit pretty hard,' acknowledged talks with Ukrainian President Zelensky about strengthening air defenses, and noted Washington's pause on some weapon shipments amid rising Russian drone and missile attacks.
  • A source described Trump and Zelensky's call as 'very good,' with optimism that Patriot missile deliveries could resume, while Kyiv warned the shipment pause risks weakening its defense against intensifying airstrikes.
  • These developments highlight ongoing U.S.-Ukraine coordination amid strained diplomacy with Moscow and escalating Russian attacks, with no ceasefire agreement reached and continued discussions on joint defense production.
