Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles following Trump's decision
During meetings in New York at the UN General Assembly, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Donald Trump has made a final decision to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriot interceptor missiles domestically. This move aims to address acute shortages of the advanced defense systems used to counter Russian ballistic missiles. Ukrainian and American teams are reportedly working on production plans, with potential collaboration from Raytheon, though establishing full industrial capacity is estimated to take 12 to 18 months.
In parallel, the Trump administration has proposed a three-step peace plan to de-escalate the conflict. The proposal includes a limited ceasefire regarding energy and grain infrastructure, the resumption of the Black Sea grain corridor, and technical trilateral meetings between the US, Russia, and Ukraine. The United Arab Emirates has been suggested as a potential venue for these technical talks. Zelenskyy has also urged Trump to leverage China's influence over Moscow to facilitate a diplomatic end to the war.
While seeking peace, Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine would respond to Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure this winter, stating that such aggression would make the conflict painful for Russia as well. Meanwhile, the European Union has signaled a tightening of financial support, demanding concrete progress in anti-corruption legislation and fiscal reforms before releasing further funds to Kyiv.
