Russia-Ukraine War Breaking: Trump Moves U.S' Patriot Missile System From Israel to Ukraine

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression. #UkraineWar #PatriotMissiles #AirDefense #TrumpUkraine #Zelensky #RussiaUkraine #MissileStrike #KyivAttack #USMilitaryAid #BidenPolicy #MineralsDeal #Greece #Germany #IsraelToUkraine #Putin #PatriotSystem #DefenseSupport #NATO #VaticanMeeting #UkraineWeapons ~HT.336~GR.125~ED.102~
