What happened
The United States approved the sale of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine, a purchase valued at $2.1bn. This advanced munition, intended for defense against Russian aerial attacks, will be funded by donations from Canada, Germany, and Norway through the JUMPSTART program. The missile sale followed a period when Donald Trump eased sanctions on Russia as part of a deal to secure Russian diesel.

Why it matters
