Donald Trump dice que se están enviando a Ucrania armas de fabricación estadounidense compradas por la OTAN. Trump también amenaza con sanciones, diciendo que su objetivo es obligar a Putin a negociar el fin de la guerra. Pero con Ucrania siendo atacada cada noche, hay escepticismo sobre si logrará algo.

Russian forces have invaded Ukraine from land, air and sea with strikes causing widespread damage. Global leaders have condemned the move and imposed sanctions.

Ukraine Invasion

The United States is dispatching Patriot missile batteries, acquired by NATO, to Ukraine in response to ongoing missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. President Donald Trump announced the move, along with threats of tariffs on Russia, stating the aim is to pressure Moscow into negotiations. The shipments are reportedly coming from Germany and will be replaced by German stocks, with the U.S. being reimbursed.

Despite the announcement, there is doubt among Ukrainian officials and analysts about the speed and scale of the aid. Experts suggest that, due to bureaucratic processes, significant new weapon deliveries under these contracts may not arrive until 2026. Neither the White House, President Zelensky's office, nor NATO has confirmed details beyond the Patriot systems, and Trump has denied plans to provide Ukraine with long-range weaponry for strikes deep into Russia.

Estados Unidos envía a Ucrania misiles Patriot adquiridos por la OTAN

Los bomberos ucranianos nunca paran. Cada noche llegan los drones y los misiles, y los hogares y las fábricas arden. Vinnytsia, en el centro de Ucrania, fue duramente golpeada durante la noche, pero también Krivyi Rih, Kharkiv y Zaporizhia. Donald Trump dice que las defensas aéreas, baterías de misiles Patriot, están siendo enviadas a Ucrania, parte de una gran oleada de armamento y amenazas arancelarias para Rusia que el presidente de EEUU anunció el lunes. Ya se están enviando. ¿De qué países? Vienen de Alemania y luego son sustituidos por Alemania. Y en todos los casos, los Estados Unidos recibe el pago completo. ¿Pero lo son? Aunque sin duda quiere más, Ucrania ya dispone de sistemas Patriot y los utiliza a menudo. Un reabastecimiento de los interceptores que disparan era parte de un cargamento armado detenido por la Defensa de EE.UU. Departamento antes de que Trump lo ordenara de nuevo. Oleg Zhdanov, analista militar, cree que por ahora Ucrania no tendrá mucho más que el retraso en la finalización de este paquete. En un futuro próximo, no se espera nada. Sabemos cómo funciona la máquina burocrática, especialmente en los países europeos, miembros de la OTAN, y los EE.UU. Por eso no espero ningún arma bajo estos contratos comerciales llegar de forma realista antes de principios de 2026. Nadie, ni la Casa Blanca, ni el Presidente Zelensky oficina, ni la OTAN, ha confirmado lo que es prometido más allá de Patriot. Y Trump ha negado los informes que consideró suministrar armamento de largo alcance para que Zelensky pudiera golpear profundamente en Rusia. ¿Debería Zelensky apuntar a Moscú o al interior de Rusia? No debería apuntar a Moscú. ¿Por eso le diste cuatro armas? Un misil ruso alcanzó este bloque de pisos de Kiev hace un mes, matando a 23 personas. Y cada noche, los ataques continúan. Donald Trump insiste en que su promesa de más armas a Ucrania y amenazas de sanciones contra Rusia está salvando miles de vidas. Pero aquí, el ambiente es, lo creeremos cuando lo veamos.
