THE HAGUE (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday after talks with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that he is considering sending more Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine to help Kyiv fend off Russian attacks.

Trump said the anti-missile missiles are "very hard to get" but that "we are going to see if we can make some of them available."

Trump, at a press conference after attending the annual NATO summit, said Zelenskiy would like to end the war. Trump said he will speak to Putin about it soon.

"Look, Vladimir Putin really has to end that war," Trump said.
