Zelenskyj: The conversation with Trump is the best so far

Volodymyr Zelenskyj is, to say the least, satisfied with Friday's phone call with US President Donald Trump.

– It was probably the best conversation we have had in this time, the most productive, he says in his daily address to the nation that he published on social media.

According to the Ukrainian president, the leaders talked about, among other things, Patriot air defense missiles. After the conversation, Trump was asked about the Patriot system and whether the United States plans to send it to Ukraine.

– They will need something because they are taking quite a beating, the president replied, according to Reuters.

In the speech, Zelensky also thanked Sweden for a new aid package that he believes the country has decided to send.
