The US can transfer short-range missiles, howitzers, and medium-range air-to-air missiles to Ukraine through NATO members. This decision by Trump has multifaceted justifications to avoid political criticism.
The US, in addition to Patriot systems, can transfer short-range missiles, howitzers, and medium-range air-to-air missiles to Ukraine, which will arrive via NATO. This is reported by CNN with reference to sources, according to UNN.
Regarding weaponry, in addition to Patriot missile batteries — a key item on Kyiv's wish list, which Trump said on Sunday was vital for Ukraine's defense — the US could also sell short-range missiles, howitzer shells, and medium-range air-to-air missiles to NATO members, which would then be transferred to Ukraine.
It is noted that Trump's decision regarding armaments has a multifaceted justification, because by selling weapons to European countries, rather than transferring them directly to Ukraine, Trump hopes to protect himself from political criticism that he is reneging on an election promise to reduce the US role in the long-standing war.
