“We talked about the situation today: about Russian wind strikes and broader -about the front situation. President Trump is very good at knowing, thanks to it in Ukraine. We have discussed the capabilities of air defense and sumang -we will work to increase the protection of the sky.
According to Zelensky, the parties in detail also discussed the possibilities of the defense industry and the possibilities of joint production in detail.
“We are ready for direct American projects and believe it is necessary for security, especially for drones and appropriate technology,” the President said.
Another topic is to buy and invest in each other. “They exchanged views on the situation of diplomatic and joint activities in America and other partners,” Zelensky said.
Trump promised to help?
Trump said the United States wants to help Ukraine with air defense due to rising Russian attacks, learned from two knowledgeable resources of the Axios portal. Axios resources report that the telephone conversation between Trump and Zelensky lasted for about 40 minutes and focused especially on Ukraine’s needs in air defense.
A resource said the US president has recently increased from Russia, in particular, the wind strikes of Ukrainian cities and the front line.
“Trump said he wanted to help with the air defense and he would check, what exactly was suspended if it was,” said the Axios interlocutor.
According to Ukrainian resources, Trump and Zelensky have said that US representatives and Ukraine are about to meet to discuss issues of air defense supply and other weapons.
Trump said his country continues to provide Ukraine weapon, but it should be sure that this is enough.
“We provide weapons, but we have already provided a lot of weapons, and we continue to provide weapons, cooperate with them and try to help them. But we will not suspend,” Trump said.
This week it was learned that the United States decided to suspend Ukraine supplies at least some types of weapons.
According to some American media, including the supply of interceptor missiles for Patriot, as well as shells and missiles for the Ukrainian army of F-16 fighters.
American officials have officially not confirmed information about suspension of supply of specific weapons, but admit that moving part of the weapon is no longer restrained due to the depletion of their own American army reserves.
Meanwhile, the NBC television company has found that American officials’ statements about the threat of fatigue of their own Pentagon weapons reserves may not be true.
According to three unnamed officials referred to by those with the publication, as a result of the defense minister, Pete Highssit, it has been “some of the high ammunition reserves at a lower level, but has not been reduced to critically minimal indicators.”
And one of the leaders of the faction of the Democratic Party’s opposition to House of US representatives Adam Smith has told the NBC that at the moment, from the point of view of stocks, we are not at a lower point than all three and a half years of conflict.
The publication of the NBC News also states that the decision to stop the supply of certain types of weapons has stopped the US State Department, Congress members, and KYIV officials and European allies.
According to NBC interlocutors, suspension of supplies is a step -by -step from the hegset. Resources made it clear that the leader of the Pentagon in the third time was able to stop providing weapons in Ukraine. In two previous cases, in February and May, his decisions were canceled a few days later.
The Deputy Minister of Defense of Policy, Elbridge Caulbide, has supported these steps, NBC resources said. Kolbi has long promoted the reduction of United States participation with the help of Ukraine and the transfer of resources to the Pacific region to prevent China.
