There is a weapon system that, if deployed in Ukraine, could accelerate the end of the war. US President Donald Trump is already aware of it, says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Axios.

The head of state confirmed that Ukrainian drones are capable of striking deep into Russian territory, creating additional strategic pressure on the enemy.

Zelenskyy added that there is another weapon system that Ukraine would like to obtain. Its availability could accelerate the end of the war.

“President Trump knows, I (told) him yesterday what we need, one thing. We need it, but it doesn't mean that we will use it. Because if we'll have it, I think it's additional pressure on Putin to sit and speak,” Zelenskyy said.

On September 23, Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

After talking with Trump, the Ukrainian president told reporters that Trump had begun to trust Russian president Vladimir Putin less because of his unreliable information about the situation in Ukraine.

After meeting with Zelenskyy, Trump expressed confidence that Ukraine is capable of recapturing all territories seized by Russia.

The Ukrainian president responded by calling this statement a very positive signal.
