Patriot Production in Ukraine? Zelensky Reveals Trump Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his recent discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump included the possibility of manufacturing Patriot missile systems inside Ukraine. The statement marks a potential shift in the war effort, moving from simply receiving Western weapons to producing them locally. Zelensky did not provide further details on the timeline or feasibility of the plan, but the proposal would aim to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses against Russian strikes. The Patriot system, a sophisticated surface-to-air missile battery, is currently built exclusively in the United States and allied nations.
