Bahraini Crown Prince Salman Al Khalifa stated that his country has no intention of transferring US-purchased Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. He made the remark during a joint press conference with US President Donald Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, saying they are necessary to defend the country because Russian President Vladimir Putin "talks nice but then he bombs everybody in the evening.

Trump on Monday pledged to deliver more weapons to Ukraine, including vital Patriot air defence systems, and threatened to slap additional sanctions on Russia.

NATO plans to gather countries that own Patriot missile systems to support Ukraine. The meeting is expected to take place next week, according to a Reuters journalist, Clauda Tanios. Allied nations are preparing for a key meeting focused on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense.

Donald Trump’s remarks on Ukraine on Monday were far from the biggest announcement the US president could have made.

NATO allies will buy arms, then give them to Ukraine, President Trump said. Patriot air defense systems, missiles and ammunition are among the American-made weapons NATO allies will buy under an arms deal brokered with President Trump to help Ukraine defend itself from Russian attacks, officials say.
