Kremlin says weapons and ammunition deliveries to Ukraine from US are continuing
Trump did not say how many Patriots he plans to send to Ukraine, but he said the United States would be reimbursed for their cost by the European Union.
'Now it seems that these supplies will be paid for by Europe, some will be paid for, some will not,' Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about Trump's words.
'The fact remains that the supply of weapons, ammunition, and military equipment from the United States continued and continues to Ukraine.'
Trump is expected to announce a new plan to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons in a sharp departure from his earlier stance, Axios reported on Sunday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
Peskov said that Kyiv was obviously in no hurry on the third round of peace talks, adding that Russia was ready for them and awaiting clarity on the timing from Ukraine.
Meanwile, a German defense ministry spokesperson said on Monday that there are 'very positive signs' from Washington on the sale of Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine.
'Discussions are now being held on the modalities of implementation, i.e. how many systems there will be, who will take them over and how they will be financed,' the spokesperson said, referring to a visit by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius to Washington.

One injured in Ukrainian attack on Russia
One person was injured as a result of Ukraine's overnight drone attack on the city of Yelets in Russia's southwestern region of Lipetsk, regional governor Igor Artamonov said early on Tuesday. 'A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) crashed in an industrial zone. One person was injured and is receiving all necessary medical assistance,' Artamonov said on the Telegram messaging app. The Russian defense ministry said on Telegram that its units destroyed 55 Ukrainian drones overnight over five Russian regions and the Black Sea, including three over the Lipetsk region. The full damage of the attack on Russia were not immediately known. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine about the attack. Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strikes during the war that Russia launched against Ukraine more than three years ago. But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian. Ukraine has launched multiple air strikes on Lipetsk, a strategically important region with an air base that is the chief training center for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
