President Trump said Wednesday the U.S. will license Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missiles for its defense, giving Kyiv a vital weapon against the Russian invasion.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump confirmed his intention for the Raytheon-developed technology on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey as he expressed hope for an end to the four-year-old conflict in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis way, you can\u2019t complain that we\u2019re not giving them enough,\u201d Mr. Trump said during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n

Patriot missiles are vital to Ukraine\u2019s ability to repel Russian airstrikes like the ones that recently struck Kyiv, the capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a defensive situation, as opposed to an offensive,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cLet\u2019s say, \u2018Make them yourself.\u2019 We haven\u2019t informed the company of that yet, but that\u2019ll work out all right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump is hopeful that a Ukraine-Russia settlement can be reached, likening the conflict to playground rivals who need to fight a bit before it is more trouble than it is worth for either side.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said both Mr. Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin want to find a way to end the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually that means a settlement, but who knows, this is a tough one,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cPutin\u2019s a difficult character, and this guy\u2019s a difficult character.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019ve made a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cThey want to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, thanked Mr. Trump and the U.S. for its support in its fight against Russia.<\/p>\n

The sit-down was relatively cordial in front of the cameras, a stark turnaround from the scolding that Mr. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance delivered to Mr. Zelenskyy in the Oval Office last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve actually developed a very good relationship,\u201d Mr. Trump said.<\/p>\n

Russia unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in recent days, killing at least 50 people.<\/p>\n

Moscow said it was responding to recent attacks on Russian land, but Ukraine said it is trying to defend itself from Russia\u2019s unprovoked invasion, which began in February 2022.<\/p>\n

U.S. officials said Ukraine\u2019s incursion into Russia signals that Moscow is having a harder time defending its airspace.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an escalation, but it\u2019s also an escalation that can help lead to an end,\u201d Mr. Trump said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zelenskyy said Mr. Putin is losing many soldiers on the battlefield, and it has been difficult to understand what Russia is demanding before it ends its invasion.<\/p>\n

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte delivered a stern message to Russia on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis alliance will defend every inch of our territory,\u201d he said at a press conference. \u201cWe are defensive, we will never attack anyone. We will only defend our way of life, our democracies, our territories. So don\u2019t fool with us, don\u2019t play with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
