Zelenskyy Asks U.S. to Let Ukraine Produce Patriot Missiles
Zelenskyy says low U.S. output could create shortages worldwide as Russia increases missile production and Ukraine seeks to expand its own air defenses.
- On May 31, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked the White House and Congress for licenses to manufacture Patriot missiles, citing insufficient United States production levels.
- Zelenskyy said current production is "far below what today's security environment requires," as Russia intensified missile attacks following stalled ground efforts.
- Arguing Ukraine can increase production, Zelenskyy noted he previously sent more than 200 experts to support infrastructure defense in the Middle East.
- Expanding missile production would benefit United States partners in the Middle East, including Saudi and Emirates, by defending bases and infrastructure, Zelenskyy told host Margaret Brennan.
- Until a European anti-ballistic system exists, Ukraine requires United States support, Zelenskyy warned, cautioning that inadequate production could trigger a crisis across different regions.
