U.S. President Donald Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, that Washington would give Ukraine a license to produce Patriot interceptors and "show them how to do it" as Kyiv seeks more air defense missiles to counter Russian missile and drone attacks, Bloomberg reported on July 8.

NATO leaders also pledged 70 billion euros ($80 billion) in military equipment, assistance and training for Ukraine in 2026 and committed to sustaining at least equivalent levels in 2027. This figure appears to include existing bilateral pledges and the defense procurement share of the EU Ukraine Support Loan. Separately, the United States and Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden committed to exploring a PAC-3 missile maintenance facility in Europe, though this would address only sustainment and repair.
