Washington Engages Zelensky on Patriot and Russia
Reports confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a closed-door meeting at the White House prior to the memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham. During their discussion, they explored ways to revive peace talks with Russia and issued licenses for Ukraine to produce Patriot missile interceptors locally. The meeting also covered efforts to resume diplomacy with Russia, aiming to increase pressure through sanctions on Moscow and end the war that has entered its fifth year. Zelensky stated that Trump agreed to grant licenses for missile production, and the two sides discussed collaborating with Lockheed Martin to boost production. These developments come amid a decline in Ukraine’s Patriot missile stockpiles and ongoing U.S. military support, despite some parts being paused, as officials focus on strengthening defenses and making diplomatic progress to end the conflict.
