"Let's continue to work next week with the US side at the military level, including our military with General Kellog. We are preparing new European defense packages. We are waiting for strong steps in the near future and for sanctions against Russia for this war: the pressure should work," Zelensky said. The President added that there are already good arrangements and are still expected in the near future. They will work next week.
"It is important to implement every arrangement as soon as possible, to feel real as possible that there is more power, more means, more protection of the sky, more air defense systems. This is a key priority," the President stressed. On July 2, it became known from the media that the Pentagon suspended the supply of missiles and ammunition promised to Ukraine for defense. The pause was subsequently confirmed by US Secretary of State Mark Rubio, assuring the recovery of shipments.
In addition, he reported negotiations with allies on additional Patriot systems for Ukrainians. On July 8, US President Donald Trump stated that Americans should send more weapons to Ukraine so that it could be defended in very strong shelling. AXIOS sources said he promised Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky to put 10 Patriot missiles and help with the search for alternative ways to receive assistance with air defense.
