At last week's NATO summit in Ankara, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy secured a valuable commitment from President Donald Trump: approval for Ukraine to produce vital interceptor missiles for the Patriot air defense system. This system has been crucial in defending Ukraine's skies against Russian attacks since 2023. Chrystia Freeland, an economic adviser to Zelenskyy, told ABC News that while the production license is "really good news," Ukraine urgently needs the missiles now as it faces intense bombardment. The urgency is underscored by a U.N. report that at least 265 civilians were killed and 1,816 injured in Ukraine in June, the highest monthly toll since the early days of the full-scale invasion.
