Zelensky in New York met with U.S. senators and Macron: discussed sanctions, air defense, and winter preparations
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky began his trip to New York with a meeting with American senators, and later held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron. Among the main topics are sanctions against Russia, strengthening of air defense, and Ukraine’s preparation for winter.
This was announced by Zelensky on his official channels.
During the meeting with U.S. senators, Zelensky thanked them for bipartisan support of Ukraine and for voting for the sanctions bill by Senator Lindsey Graham.
The sides agreed to intensify work of teams in the sanctions direction. Zelensky also told American senators about de-escalation proposals that he plans to discuss with the U.S. president.
Separately, they discussed Ukraine’s needs for ballistic missile interception systems and challenges related to winter preparations. Zelensky emphasized that American Patriot systems cannot be substituted at the moment, and strengthening Ukraine’s anti-ballistic defense, in his words, should reduce Russia’s ability to continue strikes and drag out the war.
Later Zelensky met with Emmanuel Macron. The main focus was on security issues and a winter support package for Ukraine.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine is ready to receive additional SAMP/T air defense systems and missiles for them, funded within the European Union loan arrangements.
Ukraine and partners are also continuing work on the possibility of manufacturing SAMP/T systems and missiles for them directly in Ukraine. A separate area remains the FREYJA anti-ballistic program in collaboration with partners.
Zelensky stated that Ukraine expects to see the first results of this work this year.
