While there was no official US confirmation of military assistance to Ukraine, Zelensky said afterwards that Trump had agreed to give Ukraine licences for domestic production of Patriot missiles. "He accepted that he will give us licences," Ukraine's leader told Fox News. On his DC visit, Zelensky also met with leaders from the behemoth US weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin. But it comes with a price tag – each missile for the Patriot is estimated to cost from $3m to $5m. Zelensky and the Ukrainian army have previously said Ukraine needs 25 Patriot interceptor systems.
