The Trump administration approved a proposed $2.1 billion sale of Patriot air defense interceptors to Ukraine. This approval followed accusations by Kyiv that the Pentagon had delayed the delivery of vital munitions needed to counter Russian ballistic missiles. The State Department confirmed that 500 Patriot missiles are being purchased through a U.S. program using donations from Canada, Germany, and Norway, with no American funds involved.
