Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump agreed to grant Ukraine licences to produce Patriot missile systems.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Zelenskyy said the two leaders built on discussions they began during a NATO summit earlier this month in Türkiye’s capital Ankara.
“We began it in Ankara to give Ukraine licences for the production of Patriots,” Zelenskyy said.
“This is important, because we need more and quicker.”
He said Trump had agreed to the request during their meeting at the White House.
“Today, we had a very good meeting with President Trump. He accepted that he will give us licences,” Zelenskyy said.
