President Volodymyr Zelenskyi reported on the positive results of negotiations with US President Donald Trump regarding the strengthening of Ukraine’s air defense.
During an online conversation with journalists on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, the head of state said that he had familiarized the American side in detail with the real state of affairs in the sky over Ukraine, EP writes.
According to Zelenskyi, Trump assured his readiness to provide assistance with scarce air defense equipment, in particular PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems and ammunition for NASAMS complexes.
Ukraine has already handed over to the official Washington a list of the necessary amount of equipment and missiles, emphasizing the importance of the maximum speed of deliveries. Zelensky emphasized that Kyiv is ready to buy these weapons through the special PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List) program, which is financed by contributions from European partners. This mechanism allows the use of allied funds to purchase American weapons directly from US warehouses, which significantly speeds up logistics. The President thanked the European countries for filling this fund, which gives Ukraine a financial opportunity to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure.
Zelensky stressed that despite ongoing diplomatic efforts and discussions of peace plans, strengthening air defense remains the number one priority, as Russia continues to launch missile strikes. During the meeting in Florida, where the future Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the head of the Pentagon Pete Hegseth were also present, the Ukrainian delegation provided comprehensive evidence of the need for an immediate strengthening of protection. Donald Trump’s promise to help with the missiles is perceived by Kyiv as an important step in the implementation of the 90% agreed peace plan, where the security component is the cornerstone.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyi announced that he has decided on the candidacy of the new head of the Office of the President. He promised to announce specific information a little later. He stated this while answering journalists’ questions.
Ukraine is ready to receive American President Donald Trump at any moment. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that if Trump comes directly to Ukraine, it could signal a ceasefire at the front.
