President Donald Trump on Sunday said Washington would send Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv and hinted at new sanctions on Russia, once again voicing displeasure with Russian leader Vladimir Putin over Moscow's war in Ukraine, APA reports citing BBC.
"We basically are going to send them [Ukraine] various pieces of very sophisticated military," he told media gathered on the tarmac outside Air Force One.
He went on to say "they" are "going to pay us 100%".
The US president refused to go into specifics on the number of weapons Ukraine would receive, but said "we will send them Patriots, which they desperately need".
The decision to back Ukraine comes after Trump appeared to grow frustrated at talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Putin really surprised a lot of people," Trump explained. "He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. So there's a little bit of a problem there. I don't like it."
