Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump had a phone conversation on Friday, agreeing to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses following a significant Russian aerial attack on Thursday night that resulted in at least one death and 23 injuries.
I'm just saying I don't think he's looking to stop, and that's too bad.
We're giving weapons, but we've given so many weapons. But we are giving weapons, and we're working with them and trying to help them.
We support all efforts to stop the killings and restore just, lasting, and dignified peace. A noble agreement for peace is needed.
We have done a lot together with America and support all efforts to stop the killings and restore a normal, stable, dignified peace. A decent agreement is needed for peace, and Ukraine supports American proposals.
President Trump is very well informed, and I thank him for his attention to Ukraine.
We spoke about opportunities in air defence and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies.
Today, Ukraine, like America 249 years ago, defends its right to live in peace and decide its own destiny.
More production of these interceptor drones, more training and more preparation for our drone operators — this is a clear task.
We had a detailed conversation about defense industry capabilities and joint production. We are ready for direct projects with the United States and believe this is critically important for security, especially when it comes to drones and related technologies.
We have very specific proposals. And if this agreement with the United States is approved, then of course, we will be able to hope that this part of its weapons is being procured at the cost of our European partners — and also the frozen Russian assets.
The ZNPP currently relies on power from its emergency diesel generators, underlining extremely precarious nuclear safety situation.
We have a long border with Russia, which is not a party to the Ottawa Agreement. We have seen how Russia wages war today.
Finland is not facing an immediate military threat, but the changes in the operating environment require that we strengthen our defence.
This decision was made to put America's interests first following a review of our nation's military support and assistance to other countries across the globe.
