Trump says we are selling weapons to NATO to give Ukraine – my country star-news.press/wp

President Donald Trump and its diplomatic president said that the United States is selling weapons to its allies in Europe so that they can provide them with Ukraine because it is struggling to escalate recently in drones and Russia.

“We send weapons to NATO and pay NATO against these weapons, 100 %,” Trump said in an interview with NBC late Thursday. “So what we do is that the weapons that will come out will go to NATO, and then NATO will give these weapons (to Ukraine), and pay NATO against those weapons.”

Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said on Friday that some of the weapons made by the United States that Ukraine seeks to deploy with NATO allies in Europe. He said that these weapons can be transferred to Ukraine, where European countries buy alternatives from the United States.

“It is much faster to transfer something, for example, from Germany to Ukraine more than his request from the (United States) factory and obtaining it there,” Rubio told reporters during a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Ukraine strongly needs more national -made air defense systems to stop Russian ballistic missiles and cruises. The Republican Administration of Trump gave conflicting signals about its willingness to provide more vital military aid to Ukraine for more than three years of fighting the invasion of Russia.

After stopping in some arms shipments, Trump said he would continue to send defensive weapons to Ukraine. US officials said this week the ammunition was 155 mm and accuracy missiles were on their way.

Rubio said that Germany, Spain and other European countries have Patriot missile systems, some of which have provided more orders.

The United States encourages NATO allies “to provide these weapons, regimes, and defensive systems that Ukraine is looking for … because they have their shares, then we can conclude financial agreements with them, with us, where they can buy alternatives,” said Rubio.

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski said on Thursday that Ukraine had asked foreign countries to provide them with 10 additional Waterot systems. He said that Germany was ready to provide two systems, and Norway agreed to provide one.
