[Zelensky: Agreement Reached with Trump on Patriot Production License, Details Unknown] 1. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced at the Coalition for Will summit in Paris on July 13 that he had reached an important agreement with US President Donald Trump on a production license for the Patriot air defense system. Both teams are working to implement the agreement. 2. According to Trump's statement during a previous NATO summit, the US would grant Ukraine a Patriot production license. However, neither side has specified whether the license covers launchers, radar systems, etc., in addition to interceptor missiles, nor has it disclosed specific details or an implementation timeline. 3. Experts point out that the entire process, from factory construction to organizing contractors, and establishing a supply chain and quality control system, takes a considerable amount of time. Therefore, the plan's actual impact on the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the short term is limited. 4. Zelenskyy also called on Coalition for Will members to continue supplying Ukraine with Patriot interceptor missiles to counter the ongoing threat of Russian airstrikes. The Ukrainian Air Force has previously warned multiple times that its missile stockpile is running out.
