Ukraine is clarifying all the details of defense support deliveries with the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"Today, there were briefings by Ukraine's Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs, particularly regarding relations with the United States," he said.

At the same time, the president explained that the countries are currently discussing further defense support.

"At the working level, Ukraine and the United States are clarifying all the details of defense support deliveries, including air defense components," Zelenskyy stated.

Zelenskyy also discussed American support with Ukrainian entrepreneurs and emphasized that its continuation is a shared interest.

"Air defense for Ukraine means protection for every company operating in the country, owning property here, and developing production. Ukraine's message is absolutely clear: together we can do more. I thank all the companies and entrepreneurs who support Ukraine's defense and resilience," he emphasized.

Zelenskyy also noted that a new network of cooperation is being built with the United States and many other countries based on shared opportunities in industrial and technological sector development.

"But of course, security — protection from Russian attacks — is the foundation of everything, and we expect greater engagement from entrepreneurs in advancing our security agenda," he explained.

US assistance to Ukraine

Since President Donald Trump took office, the United States has not allocated any new military aid packages to Ukraine.

Today, Politico reported that the US has allegedly halted deliveries of air defense missiles and other ammunition to Ukraine entirely.

Kyiv has already responded to this information, stating that it has requested a call with the United States to clarify all the circumstances.

More details on this matter can be found in the report by RBC-Ukraine.
