«I spoke with President Trump. A good conversation, very productive. I congratulated him on the success and the Middle East deal that he actually achieved, and it’s a strong achievement. And if the war in that region can be stopped, surely other wars can be stopped, including this Russian war.” Thus Ukrainian president Voldymyr Zelensky on Telegram.
Zelensky and Trump discussed Russian attacks on energy infrastructure and the need to strengthen Kiev’s area defense in today’s phone call. “I am grateful for his willingness to support us,” he began.
With Trump «we discussed the possibilities of strengthening our air defense and the agreements we are preparing in this regard. There are good options, strong ideas on how to really strengthen ourselves,” he assured.
Having said that, «the Russians’ willingness to participate in real diplomacy is necessary. Thanks to strength this can be guaranteed. Thank you, Mr President!”, he concluded.
Media: Zelensky and Trump discussed Tomahawk
Presidents Volodymr Zelensky and Donald Trump discussed during their phone call today the possibility of Ukraine obtaining the Tomahawk long-range missiles it has requested from the United States. Axios reported it.
The conversation lasted about 30 minutes and at the end Zelensky reported that strengthening Ukraine’s air defense was also discussed.
Already last Monday, Trump had assured that he had made a decision on the supply of Tomahawak, but had made it clear that he would first want to understand from Kiev what use he would make of it. Russia, for its part, displayed confidence by saying that the bombs would not change the fate of the war, but would represent an escalation that would jeopardize the newfound good climate with the USA.
