The Ukrainian president hinted at the US’s willingness to help Kyiv bolster its air defenses following a deadly strike on the country between Thursday and Friday.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has described his Friday phone call with US President Donald Trump as “probably the best conversation we have had” and “the most productive.”
Zelensky said soon after the call that the two addressed air defenses and joint arms production without referring to the recent arms halt. The call took place after Trump said he’s “disappointed” by his call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin a day prior.
Zelensky, in his Saturday evening video address, hinted at his progress with Trump from the previous day.
“Regarding the conversation with the president of the United States, which took place a day earlier, it was probably the best conversation we have had during this whole time, the most productive,” he said.
He then thanked the US for its “willingness to help” bolster Kyiv’s air defenses, following a major Russian attack that wreaked havoc on the capital a day earlier.
“We discussed air defence issues and I’m grateful for the willingness to help. The Patriot system is precisely the key to protection against ballistic threats,” Zelensky said.
Trump previously said he would look into the issue at the NATO summit in The Hague, after Kyiv had appealed for more supplies for months.
The two have been at odds occasionally, with Trump publicly belittling Zelensky for not being thankful for US aid.
Trump has previously accused Kyiv – alongside his predecessor Joe Biden – of starting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but Moscow’s recent openness to reject his peace mediation efforts, after continuously and creatively brushing off his ceasefire offer, has seemingly finally irked the US president.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said after Trump’s Thursday call with Putin that the Russian leader would not back down from his war goals.
Trump later hinted at more sanctions on Moscow with no further details.

The rat nazi is on a roll at the moment. More and more shit countries are sending troops; officially or unofficially and the chicoms have confirmed their determination to back his evil shithole unambiguously until the genocide is completed.
Europe knew what Krasnov was going to do, because he said so repeatedly in his election campaign, but they never prepared for it.
So now he’s delivering to Ukraine exactly what he said to his fans : nothing.
Will he reverse course?
We will see.
Yes, we will see. Actions always speak louder than words. And, Europe has proven more than enough what losers it has for leaders.
I don’t understand. Is President Zelensky just sucking up to Trump to get material restored or was this indeed a great call. Even if Trump has changed, as tough as that is too believe, he is surrounded by a cadre of fuckin nazis that won’t allow change or will be difficult if not impossible to change. If there’s a new Trump emerging, let’s see him fire the number one and two nazis in his administration…Hegseth and Rubio.
Vance, Gabbard, Kennedy, Patel, Colby….. and many more would have to get canned and replaced by humans.
Gabbard is the most evil though IMO.
The whole administration is made up of worthless trash.
This is all true. The deciding factor is, how much does the big mouth listen to his people? We’ve seen him do certain things that go against the wishes of his cabinet. Over all, they are just useful idiots for him with little value as advisors. In his warped mind, Trump knows all, sees all, and can do all.
Maybe(and that is a big maybe) Trump has finally lifted the vail of his fanboy obsession with Putin and sees what a evil little shit weasel Putin truly is.
Or he is just tired of putin making him look like shit in front of the whole world.
so hopefully we will see an improvement in his attitude towards Zelensky. Sooner or later Trump will realize that until Putin starts losing (ie losing ground) this thing will continue.
I sometimes wonder if the spineless taco even cares that the entire globe sees him as a pathetic coward and evil colluder.
