Summary

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy described his meeting with Trump as positive and discussed Patriot air defenses and renewed diplomacy. However, it remains unclear whether Ukraine secured additional interceptors in the interim. The US discussed allowing Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles domestically under license, though that will take time to materialize. Peace talks remain stalled since February, and Russia continues to insist on maximalist territorial demands, leaving little momentum for a negotiated end to the war.
