Zelensky, Trump Agree to Strengthen Ukraine Air Defences After Russian Assault

News summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump held a significant phone call in early July 2025, agreeing to collaborate on strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities amid intensified Russian attacks. The conversation followed one between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which Trump described as disappointing, with Putin reaffirming Russia's determination to pursue its goals in Ukraine. Zelensky emphasized the importance of the call, noting discussions on joint production initiatives and defense industry cooperation with the U.S. This dialogue occurred against the backdrop of Russia's heaviest bombardment since the 2022 invasion began, including an unprecedented drone and missile assault on Kyiv. Despite the U.S. administration's recent pause on delivering certain air defense weapons to Ukraine, the leaders committed to enhancing protection of Ukrainian airspace and coordinating further meetings between their teams. European leaders, meanwhile, expressed concern over the U.S. decision and explored alternative support measures, including Germany's interest in purchasing U.S.-made Patriot missile systems to aid Ukraine's defense.
