Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Donald Trump told him he had made a final decision to grant Kyiv licences to produce Patriot missiles, according to France 24.

In July, the U.S. president had backtracked on the licences, citing caution about transferring technology, France 24 reports. Even with the licence, building industrial capacity would take more than a year and would not cover the acute shortage of interceptors Ukraine faces now, according to France 24.
