Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said U.S. President Donald Trump told him that the United States had made a final decision to grant Ukraine licences to produce Patriot air-defence missiles. Zelenskyy said the issue had seen a series of reversals. He spoke after visiting the United States this week and renewing calls for air-defence support, including Patriots. Kyiv faces a shortage of the missiles, which it needs to counter Russia's increasing drone and missile attacks. The latest such attack killed a 14-year-old boy in the capital on Friday. Patriots remain the only system reliably able to counter Russia's powerful ballistic missiles. The licence decision described by Zelenskyy could ease Ukraine's shortage but would not solve it immediately.
