"Regarding the conversation with the US President, which took place the day before: it was probably the best conversation we've had during this entire time, and it was extremely productive," Zelenskyy said.
The President said that air defense was among the topics of the call, and thanked Trump for his willingness to help.
The head of Ukraine emphasized that American Patriot systems are the key to defense against ballistic missiles.
"We also discussed several important issues, which our teams will work out in detail at meetings in the near future," Zelenskyy announced.
Meanwhile, Trump said that "we [Zelenskyy and he] had a very good call, I think a very strategic call."

An Axios source reported that during the call, the US president promised Zelenskyy to check the situation with the transfer of weapons. Meanwhile, a Reuters source stated that after a "very good conversation," the president is optimistic about the resumption of Patriot missile supplies.
