Zelenskyi обговорив з трампом посилення протиповітряної оборони україни
I just spoke with President Trump – for the second time in recent days. We are working closely with the United States to strengthen ourselves – our air defense, all our defensive capabilities: primarily Patriots, other systems, as well as our active operations and long-range capabilities. We see and hear that Russia fears the possibility of the United States providing us with Tomahawks. It is a signal that this kind of pressure can be effective in achieving peace. President Trump and I agreed that our teams and our military will be working on all the matters we discussed, including those related to energy and gas. Thank you. We count on results.
I also spoke today with President of France Macron: again, the key topics were air defense, our resilience, and the diplomatic steps planned for the coming weeks. We are coordinating our positions. We agreed that our military will provide France with a list of priority needs, and we are accelerating deliveries.
We discussed the situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. As we have done dozens of times before, we are capable of repairing the power supply lines to the plant and ensuring its safety – and it is Ukrainian control and our Ukrainian specialists that provide a one-hundred-percent guarantee of safety. Russia has no interest in restoring safety – it must be pressured into doing so. A clearer and honest position from the IAEA is needed. Russia can and must stop the shelling so that repair crews can work. The longest blackout at the Zaporizhzhia NPP continues – the plant has been running on diesel generators for almost three weeks. It cannot be this way.
