Perezida wa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, Donald Trump, yabwiye mugenzi we wa Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, ku wa Gatatu, mu nama ya NATO yabereye i Ankara, ko Amerika izaha Ukraine uburenganzira (licence) bwo kwikorera ubwayo sisiteme zo kwirinda ibitero byo mu kirere za Patriot.

Misile zifata izindi misile za Patriot ni zo zonyine Ukraine ifite zishobora guhanura misile za ballistique zica abantu benshi z’Uburusiya. Perezida Trump yavuze ko Amerika izaha Kyiv "uburenganzira bwo gukora" izo sisiteme z’agaciro ka Patriot kugira ngo zifashe igihugu kwirinda ibitero bikomeye by’Uburusiya, ariko ntiyatangaza igihe ibyo bizatangirira.

Ukraine imaze igihe ihanganye n’ikibazo cyo kubura ubushobozi bwo guhanura misile za ballistique z’Uburusiya, kubera ko intambara yabaye hagati ya Amerika, Israel na Iran muri uyu mwaka yagabanyije cyane ububiko bw’izo misile za Patriot zikorerwa muri Amerika.

Trump yabwiye Zelensky ati:
"Kimwe mu byo turi buganireho ni uko tuzabaha uruhushya rwo gukora Patriot. Ibyo ni ibintu byiza cyane, si byo?"

Yanongeyeho ati:
"Ntabwo turabimenyesha sosiyete ibikora, ariko ibyo bizakemuka neza."

Sosiyete Lockheed Martin ni yo ishinzwe cyane gukora misile zikoreshwa muri sisiteme ya Patriot.

Ntabwo byari byarasobanuka niba izo misile zizajya zikorwa muri Ukraine cyangwa mu kindi gihugu.

Trump yavuze ati:
"Iyi ni intwaro yo kwirwanaho, kandi nkunda intwaro zo kwirwanaho kurusha izo kugaba ibitero."

Ku wa Gatatu, ibitero bikomeye by’Uburusiya byifashishije misile na drones byahitanye abantu 10 hirya no hino muri Ukraine, barimo batatu bishwe mu murwa mukuru Kyiv, nk’uko abayobozi baho babitangaje.

Perezida Zelensky amaze igihe asaba Amerika kumuha izo misile za Patriot, kuko ari zo zonyine Ukraine ifite zishobora guhanura misile za ballistique zigendera ku muvuduko mwinshi kandi zikagwa mu buryo bugoye kuzihagarika.

Impuguke mu bya gisirikare muri Ukraine, Sergiy Zgurets, yavuze ko Uburusiya bufite uburumbuke mu gukoresha misile za ballistique kandi bukaba bukoresha amahirwe y’uko Ukraine ifite ububiko buke bwa Patriot kugira ngo bwibasire cyane Kyiv.

Yagize ati:
"Ibi biha umwanzi uburyo bwo gukoresha ibyo bitero nk’intwaro yo gutera abaturage ubwoba no kubashyira ku gitutu."

Abajijwe niba Amerika yahita yoherereza Ukraine izindi misile za Patriot, Trump yavuze ko "zimwe" zishobora koherezwa ako kanya kandi ko atekereza ko Ukraine ishobora gutangira kuzikora vuba.

Yagize ati:
"Dufite Patriot, ariko si nyinshi. Natwe turazikeneye ku bw’umutekano wacu."

Yakomeje agira ati:
"Ntekereza ko bashobora kuzikora vuba. Nitubibasobanurira uburyo bikorwa, tuzazana sosiyete ibikora hano. Muzakorana na yo. Bafite ubushobozi bukomeye bwo gukora intwaro, harimo n’izikomeye cyane."

Icyakora, kubera igihe kinini bisaba kuzikora, uruhushya rwo gukora Patriot — imwe muri sisiteme zihanitse cyane zo kurinda ikirere ku isi — ntirushobora guhita rukemura ikibazo Ukraine ihanganye na cyo.

Nk’uko Ikigo cy’Ubushakashatsi ku Politiki Mpuzamahanga cya Amerika (Foreign Policy Research Institute) kibitangaza, bisaba amezi agera kuri 24 kugira ngo hakorwe misile ya Patriot, naho moteri yayo igafata amezi agera kuri 30.

Mu mezi ashize, Ukraine yakajije ibitero birebire igaba imbere mu Burusiya, yibasira cyane inganda zitunganya peteroli n’ibindi bikorwa remezo by’ingufu.

Trump yavuze ko ibyo bitero bishobora gufasha kurangiza intambara.

Yagize ati:
"Ni ukuzamura urugero rw’intambara, ariko kandi ni ukuzamuka gushobora gufasha kugera ku iherezo ryayo."

Mu nama yabo, Trump na Zelensky bagaragaje umubano mwiza kurusha uko byari bimeze mbere, bitandukanye cyane n’ukutumvikana gukomeye kwabereye mu biro bya Oval Office umwaka ushize.

Trump yagize ati:
"Biragoye kwemera ko kuva ibyabereye muri Oval Office kugeza ubu tumaze kubaka umubano mwiza cyane."
