Zelenskyy: Signals from Trump suggest U.S. aid to Ukraine will resume

He said this at a press conference in Rome.

"It’s important that after very constructive and positive talks with President Trump, we have all the necessary political signals about the resumption of aid deliveries. Now our teams are working on ensuring everything arrives in Ukraine on time. We agreed on all of this," Zelenskyy emphasized.

He also called Trump’s signal positive, noting that U.S. representatives participated for the first time in a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.

"I think this is a signal from President Trump – the presence of General Kellogg and U.S. senators. It’s a positive sign. Today there was a moment when one of our American guests said about this coalition: ‘This picture says more than a thousand words.’ That collective: 30 countries plus the United States, all with a focus on supporting Ukraine, air defense, and our army," the president said.

According to him, Kyiv has submitted a request to allies for a weapons package from Europe and Washington, including air defense systems, Patriot missiles, Patriot systems, and artillery.

"We discussed with our partners the possibility of purchasing the necessary weapons packages in Europe and the U.S. We provided our friends with the details of this package, and we hope for their support," Zelenskyy stressed.Background
