It’s the second time Zelensky announces the Patriot licenseOnce again, the ‘Patriot licenses’ hit the headlines.Once again, Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky announces that US president Donald J. Trump will license Ukraine to produce Patriot interceptor missiles ‘domestically’.This time, Zelensky guarantees, the decision is ‘final’.BREAKING – Zelensky says Trump made ‘final decision’ to give Ukraine Patriot licencehttps://t.co/j4lHzYqt3T— Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) September 25, 2026Let’s suppose for a moment, for the sake of argument, that we believe in Zelensky: a series of questions arises.In the foot of a post made by his social media team, he says that Ukraine ‘will receive licenses to produce Patriot missiles’. Not ‘has received licenses.’So, it’s something to happen in the unspecified future – maybe even only after the war ends.Besides that, to build a factory that builds missiles is a super complex task that is likely to take years, even if everything runs without a hitch.But realistically, how can Ukraine build this factory in the present state of affairs?Ukraine has had all its ports disrupted for the last 60 days, the power generation and energy grid hang by a thread, logistics centers destroyed, its steel industry ‘is no more’ according to top CEO, and in the last few days, a multitude of internet providers ‘are leaving the chat’ with jet-propelled Geran drone strikes.Read: ‘As of Today, Ukraine Doesn’t Have a Steel Industry Anymore’: Mining CEO Reveals How Russian Strikes Are Destroying Kiev’s EconomyThe factory would be repeatedly destroyed before it could put a single missile out.Perhaps the missile factory would be built in a neighboring NATO country, a situation that could further complicate the war.Euronews reported:“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that US President Donald Trump told him he would allow Ukraine to produce advanced Patriot air defense missiles, after a series of reversals on the issue.[…] During his latest visit to the United States this week, Zelenskyy renewed calls for air defense support, and for the Patriots, which remain the only system reliably able to counter Russia’s powerful ballistic missiles.‘At our last meeting, President Trump emphasized to me that yes, I have made a final decision. Ukraine will receive licenses for the production of Patriot missiles’, Zelenskyy said in a voice note to journalists.”Vladimir Zelensky claimed that US President Donald Trump told him at their latest meeting that he has finally decided to grant Kiev a license to produce Patriot interceptors:https://t.co/S7UnJHMYCw pic.twitter.com/iTcUSVhFYK— TASS (@tassagency_en) September 25, 2026“In July, Trump said it would be ‘pretty cool’ to grant Ukraine the licenses, before backtracking, saying the United States should be ‘very careful’ before granting Ukraine authorization. Even if the licenses are granted, establishing industrial capacity would require more than a year and would not meet Kiev’s immediate needs.”Read more:Trump Will Confront Zelensky Over Strikes on Russian Refineries During Tomorrow’s NYC Meeting: REPORTS/*!
