Ukraine is waiting for further details of the “billions of dollars” worth of US military equipment promised by Donald Trump on Monday, amid confusion as to how many Patriot air defence systems will be sent to Kyiv.
At a meeting at the White House with the Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte, on Monday, Trump said an unnamed country was ready to immediately provide “17 Patriots” as he said a “very big deal” had been agreed for European allies to buy weapons from the United States and then ship them to Ukraine.
Ukraine is currently believed to have only six functioning Patriot air defence batteries, which can intercept fast-moving Russian cruise and ballistic missiles.
Maj Gen Vadym Skibitskyi, the deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, the HUR, said it was unclear what the US president meant. “We don’t know exactly,” he said, adding that Ukraine was grateful for the assistance and had reacted “positively” to the White House’s announcement.
The general also confirmed that Trump and the Ukrainian president, Volodomyr Zelenskyy, had discussed the possibility of the US providing long-range Tomahawk missiles in a call earlier in July but no agreement had been reached.
Skibitskyi said Trump in his comments on Patriots could have been referring to interceptor missiles, launching stations or entire batteries comprising multiple launchers and radar and control systems, which cost more than a billion dollars each. “Seventeen is a huge number if we are talking about batteries. If it’s launchers, that’s possible,” he added.

Maybe 1 billion of that money should be immediately spent to rebuild the Grand Canyon lodge in rapid style, and built just like it was. Maybe we should do that with 1 billion of that money earmarked for the Nazi party of Ukraine.
Use the billions you stole.
I knew once Trump voiced support for Ukraine you would turn on him.
MABA!!! Broke!
Oh yeah, absolutely. I didn’t hire Trump to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. Or to hide the list of billionaires and politicians who were screwing underage girls on Epstein island, or which intelligence agencies ran the island.
Maybe it was a hoax?
Hell, you’re just a Canadian anyway. So STFU Freaking Nazi. Go polish your Maltese falcon or whatever gruppenfuhrer…
I wonder who even has 17 Patriot batteries to give away at this point - or is that not 17 full batteries, but only 17 vehicles (one battery being an array of a half dozen or more vehicles)?
Go lick Putin’s butt you friggin commie. That American education really is quite poor, isn’t it?
Go boil some maple syrup. I bet you’re a descendent of one of those Ukrainians who moved to Canada. You probably even support that Nazi SS guy that got honored in parliament.
Why can that asshole Zelinsky, a billionaire, do the same?
Go stuff some more Cheetos in your face. I am sure you think the KGB was just a bunch of swell guys who were trying to save you from the “globalist’s homolobby” under your bed.
Apparently Russian Nazis are okay though.
Whatever Heinie. You are a descendent from some Ukrainian Nazi who fled to Canada after the war, aren’t you? KGB were first class assholes. And they went out of business 35 years ago.
