Trump announces U.S. will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine, criticizes Putin’s tactics, and secures NATO deal with EU funding.
President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will provide Ukraine with Patriot missiles, a critical boost to their defense capabilities, while sharply criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s tactics. Trump described Putin as a leader who ‘talks nice, and then bombs everybody in the evening,’ highlighting the unpredictable and aggressive nature of Russia’s actions.
In a recent statement, Trump elaborated on a new NATO deal that facilitates the flow of U.S. arms to Ukraine via allied nations. This arrangement ensures that the European Union foots the bill, with Trump emphasizing, ‘We’re not paying anything for it, but we will send it, and it’ll be good news for us.’ The deal comes as NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte prepares to meet with Trump in Washington, D.C., to discuss further cooperation.
The decision to send Patriot missiles follows a period of uncertainty, as the Pentagon had briefly halted shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine due to concerns over dwindling U.S. stockpiles. However, under Trump’s direction, the Department of Defense reversed course, prioritizing support for Ukraine’s defense while aiming for a lasting peace. A Pentagon spokesperson reiterated the commitment to an ‘America First’ defense strategy, ensuring that global military shipments are carefully evaluated.
Trump’s candid remarks about Putin underscore the complexity of the ongoing conflict. While pushing for military support to Ukraine, he remains focused on a deal structure that benefits the U.S. economically and strategically. This latest move signals a renewed emphasis on bolstering Ukraine’s defenses amid escalating tensions.

Well, folks, Trump’s latest move is like sending a lifeboat to a sinking ship—except the EU’s paying for the oars! And about Putin, talking sweet by day and bombing by night? Sounds like he’s running a geopolitical soap opera. Maybe we should send him a script for ‘How to Win Friends Without Missiles.’ Beyond the headlines, though, this NATO deal is a clever sidestep—Ukraine gets the gear, the U.S. gets the credit, and Europe gets the bill. Classic.
