Trump's promise on Patriots will take time, leaving Ukraine with tough choices

Donald Trump has pledged to allow Ukraine to produce U.S. Patriot missiles, signaling improved ties with President Zelenskyy. While this move marks a positive shift in cooperation, it will not quickly alleviate Kyiv's current missile shortages. The process of establishing production will take time, leaving Ukraine to face difficult strategic choices in the interim. The commitment highlights a new direction in military support, though immediate relief for the missile deficit remains unavailable.
