President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States will be sending Ukraine’s armed forces additional Patriot air defense missiles and more “very sophisticated” military equipment as he expressed further displeasure with Russian president Vladimir Putin’s conduct in his country’s three-year-old war against Ukraine.
The president told reporters at Joint Base Andrews that he was “very disappointed” in the Russian leader and did not rule out unveiling new sanctions when he meets with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House on Monday.
“We will send them Patriots which they desperately need because Putin … really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and that he bombs everybody in the evening — it’s little bit of a problem there, I don’t like it,” Trump said.
