“We sent weapons to NATO, and NATO carries the cost of weapons by 100%,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News. “So, what we are doing, the weapon sent will be transferred to NATO, and then NATO will give weapons (to Ukraine), and NATO will incur expenses.”
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said on Friday that several American weapons requested by Ukraine were used by NATO allies in Europe. This weapon can be transferred to Ukraine when European countries buy a replacement in the United States, he said.
“For example, it is much faster to move, for example, from Germany to Ukraine than to order it in a factory (USA) and send it there,” Rubio told reporters during a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Ukraine really needs more US air defense systems to stop Russian ballistic missiles and cruises. The Trump government went back and forth to discuss more important military assistance to Ukraine more than three years after the invasion of Russia.
After a short break in several delivery of weapons, Trump said that he would continue to send defensive weapons to Ukraine. This week, American officials said that some were already on the way.
NATO himself does not send weapons to Ukraine, does not own or processes weapons – it is carried out by 32 countries by member countries, but NATO coordinates the delivery of weapons to the logistics center in Poland, which borders with Ukraine. The alliance itself sends goods such as medical supply and fuel.

“The allies continue to try to guarantee that Ukraine has the support they need to protect against Russian aggression,” said NATO representative Ellison Hart. “This includes urgent efforts to obtain important supplies from the United States, including air defense and ammunition.”
According to Rubio, in Germany, Spain and other European countries there is a missile system of patriots, and some ordered more.
