Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Friday he spoke with his United States colleague Donald Trump on the phone, stating that he discussed potential joint defense programs with Washington, as well as recently Russian strikes on his country.

"We spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies. We have also agreed to a meeting between our teams," the Ukrainian leader wrote on X. He stated that Kiev is ready for "direct projects" with the US "especially when it comes to drones and related technologies."

The two presidents also considered "mutual procurement and investment" schemes.

I had a very important and fruitful conversation with @POTUS . I congratulated President Trump and the entire American people on the US Independence Day.

We - in Ukraine - are grateful for all the support provided. It helps us protect lives, safeguard our freedom and independence. We have achieved a lot together with America and we support all efforts to stop the killings and restore just, lasting, and dignified peace. A noble agreement for peace is needed.

Today we discussed the current situation, including Russian airstrikes and the broader frontline developments. President Trump is very well informed, and I thank him for his attention to Ukraine. We spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies. We have also agreed to a meeting between our teams.

We had a detailed conversation about defense industry capabilities and joint production. We are ready for direct projects with the United States and believe this is critically important for security, especially when it comes to drones and related technologies.

We also touched on mutual procurement and investment. Finally, we exchanged views on the diplomatic situation and joint work with the U.S. and other partners.

Thank you!

@ZelenskyyUa

One thing that is readily available in Ukraine is high grade scrap steel.

He’s like a spoiled 15 year-old demanding more from his parents. His mistake was thinking NATO would save him.

Trump should be talking with an elected leader, not a dictator.

I'm really sick and tired of hearing about the Ukraine's crappy drones like they are some kind of technological revolution and that the Ukraine brings peer class technology and know how to table that should awe the US.

I mean seriously, we just leveled the Iranian nuclear capability in a matter of minutes with the assistance of all kinds of American drones that make anything even envisioned by the Ukraine look like toys (which, BTW, many actually started life as ).

The Ukraine is using crappy knock offs of Chinese commercial drones to deliver small scale munitions against limited soft targets.

Any serious advancements in AI and pattern recognition guidance are being made with US and EU tech transfers.

American produced VTOL drones are many generations ahead of anything the Ukraine has in the pipeline.

The Ukraine (and the Russians) have been very innovative in the tactical employment of their drone systems despite the limitations of their drones and they have been very effective. However, the effectiveness of the drones is more due the weaknesses of the respective Ukrainian and Russian forces than any innate superiority of the Russian and Ukrainian drone themselves.

The drones and tactics both sides are using in Ukraine would not have the same level of success against US forces.

And a hard pass on sending any American advanced missile defense technology to the Ukraine so they can build their own.

When Ukraine extricated itself from their Russian Communist slave-masters... They should’ve kept the nukes they had on their soil and joined NATO immediately... If they had, I’m pretty sure that McDonald’s would still be going strong in Russia.

Putin doesn’t agree with you, he thinks Ukraine is a NATO threat designed to destroy Russia.

“What’s that pimple doing on America’s butt on our birthday?!?”

***********

So the grifter with “no cards to play” gets to speak with the President on the occasion of the nation’s Independence Day. How can that be?
