Marco Rubio says Washington and Kyiv are negotiating licences for Ukraine to manufacture Patriot interceptor missiles, but production would take years. 02 september 2026
The Russian President guarantees that he does not want to "froze" the conflict, but expresses a preference in negotiating with the United States and rejects talks with Ukraine, which is called "terrorists".
Ukraine, even if granted an American licence, will take several years to launch its own production of Patriot systems, as stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with Fox Radio.
