Details: Zelenskyy emphasised the key role that US assistance has played over the past years of the ongoing full-scale war with Russia. He said that for now, no one wants to imagine what it would be like to live and fight without US support. No talks with the US about future aid are underway at present, but Zelenskyy hopes to raise the issue when he talks with Trump.

Background: 

• On 16 June, it was reported that Trump plans to meet with Zelenskyy for bilateral talks on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada.
• Zelenskyy is expected to attend the summit on Tuesday as a guest.
