Rubio confirms US-Ukraine talks on Patriot production license, but warns of multi-year timeline
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on September 2 that the United States is negotiating with Ukraine on granting licenses for the production of Patriot air defense missiles. He cautioned that even with a license, deploying production of such complex weapons and building the required factories could take several years and would not resolve Ukraine's short-term need for interceptors.
