Zelenskiy speaks to U.S. envoys, discusses weapons

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about reinvigorating diplomacy and moving toward an accord to end the war with Russia.

Zelenskiy and U.S. ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker discussed licences for Patriot air defence system production.

President Donald Trump agreed at the NATO summit in Turkey that the United States would grant Ukraine a licence to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors.

Ukraine has boosted medium- and long-range drone strikes on Russian energy targets, but air defences against Russian missile attacks remain a priority.
