Ukraine won the NATO summit in Ankara | Stefan Korshak

Donald Trump has announced that the United States will grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot interceptor missiles. “It is a huge victory,” says Stefan Korshak, Senior Defense Correspondent at the Kyiv Post, in World Talks.

However, he notes that building a production line and launching manufacturing will take at least a year. Korshak also points to the NATO summit’s commitment of €70 billion ($80.2 billion) in support for Ukraine, describing it as a very substantial package that provides Kyiv with medium-term security and confidence in continued Allied backing.

At the same time, renewed fighting in the Middle East could deepen existing shortages of interceptor missiles and air defense resources.

Despite these challenges, NATO leaders reaffirmed their support for Ukraine and their commitment to helping the country defend itself against ongoing Russian attacks. Join Jonasz Rewiński and his guest as they discuss the outcomes of the NATO summit, Ukraine’s defense needs, and how Russia continues to obtain the components necessary to sustain its war effort.
