Meeting at the White House on October 17

On Friday, October 17, Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Trump met at the White House. According to media reports, the Ukrainian president brought maps showing the vulnerabilities of the Russian defense-industrial complex to the meeting with the head of the White House.

Negotiations between the leaders of Ukraine and the United States lasted longer than planned.

After meeting with the American leader, Zelenskyy had a phone conversation with European leaders.

After the meeting, Zelensky confirmed that during his meeting with Trump, he discussed the transfer of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. However, the leaders decided not to talk publicly about the long-range missiles for now: the US does not want escalation.
