Trump agrees to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence, Zelensky says • FRANCE 24 English

Three years and four months since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, US support for Keev has appeared to weaken with Washington saying on Tuesday it had cut off some weapons deliveries. President Vladimir Zalinski following Moscow’s pounding of Keev with the largest drone and missile attack of the war spoke by phone with the US president. It was an important conversation. We agreed to hold a meeting between our teams to increase the strength of our air defense. We discussed joint production in great detail. This is something that both we and America need. What about our bilateral relations with the United States and this it’s reported Trump said he would check what weapons due to be sent to Ukraine had been put on hold. While Kee indicated a conversation between Zalinski and Trump was very good. A separate phone conversation Trump had with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Thursday was judged by Trump to be disappointing. I don’t think he’s there and I’m very disappointed. Well, it’s not I’m just saying I don’t think he’s looking to stop and that’s too bad. Russia pummeled Kev hours after that conversation with Putin. Moscow, meanwhile, is saying it sees no immediate diplomatic way out of the war. A political and diplomatic settlement is impossible without eliminating the root causes of the conflict, as President Putin once again said during yesterday’s telephone conversation with President Trump. President Trump. With Russia intensifying its offensive in Ukraine, Keev wants Washington to sell it more Patriot missiles and systems it sees as key to defending its cities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday said that US President Donald Trump had agreed to boost Ukraine’s air defences. Russia has stepped up its attacks on Ukraine in recent weeks, on Friday hitting Kyiv with the largest aerial attack since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.

  15. We can't trust USA.
    Trump is afraid of Russia. That's why the United States is helping Putin by holding on to the weapons promised to Ukraine. Trump calls Putin, and the next day, Putin sends 450 drones and numerous missiles, even targeting the NATO consulate in Ukraine. The next day, Trump calls on Ukraine to surrender. Ukraine is hostile to both Russia and the United States.

    The United States doesn't honor its deals. It uses war to take advantage of Ukrainian metals.

  22. Lavrov himself as one of Russia’s root causes, like a rotten tooth, he and his comrads need a visit from the old man who puts glasses in windows in wonderful sky-scrapers.

  23. Yaaawwwnn̈, you were told to stop the war, you refused instead you were running from pillar to post.
    Yov got what you want , so keep fighting na!

  31. And then Pete Hegseth stopped the delivery of patriot missiles… like his tariff policies, nothing coming out of the US government makes sense anymore.

  34. How can they save Ukraine? Russia has to many missiles, many X more than Patriots. Around 500 patriots interceptors a year are made. Ukraine cannot resist Russia, they can escalate much more, its over. They cant stop hypersonic missiles, America will not provide newer tech to do so to Kiev. Negotiations or unconditional surrender later, sadly this is current reality, Blackrock is out, Israel is Usa focus. Kiev forces cannot make another winter, regardless what the "experts" say.

  35. As Lavrov says, without solving the problem, there can be no diplomatic solution. Well then, he should just get rid of Putin; he's the problem. What is he waiting for?

  37. 🤣European chihuahuas should feel lucky that the Russians are civilized people. Their fetish for Russian beatings, every 100 years or so, is always obliged by the Russians.

  39. I don’t trust or believe Trump, or Trump has an ulterior motive, wait and see. Whatever the motive is, it definitely benefits Trump first and foremost. Trump doesn’t have justice in his heart.

  40. All Zelensky needs to do with Trump is constantly praise him, as well as promise a Nobel prize nomination if Trump keeps supplying arms.

  46. Wonder if it is too little too late now. Russia has progressed differently beyond the " probable four weeks of distractions agreed upon by a hopeful Western power".

  48. Ukraine may have to concede land for peace a hard truth that may well be necessary.

    it is difficult for many in Ukraine to accept this especially Azov and extreme right-wing groups.
