White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt refrained from comment on the possibility of transferring additional Patriot anti-missile missiles to Ukraine, referring to the privacy of the agreements reached earlier between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of a NATO summit in The Hague.

She stated this on Thursday during a briefing in Washington, an Ukrinform staff correspondent reports.

“I’ll let the president (Trump – ed.) speak on that. That was a private conversation between him and President Zelensky, but the meeting was good,” Leavitt noted.

She spoke in response to a question of whether President Trump remains open to handing Patriot missiles to Ukraine and whether he gave assurances to this end as he spoke with Zelensky.

“It was a meeting towards progress, and the president, as he said repeatedly, wants this war come to an end,” Levitt added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on Wednesday, at a press conference following the NATO summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would consider supplying Patriot missiles to Ukraine, which he said Ukraine needs more than anything else.
