Zelenskyy: US proposal to postpone the tripartite meeting, Russia unwilling to send representatives
In today's briefing, U
Zelenskyy revealed that due to the situation in the Middle East, the United States proposed to delay the tripartite meeting until next week. According to the President, the US is willing to hold the meeting under its own chairmanship, and Ukraine has agreed, but Russia has not yet prepared to send representatives.
Zelenskyy also pointed out:
-- Russia originally faced a budget deficit of $100 billion in 2026, but in the past 14-15 days, they have earned about $100 billion.
-- Ukraine hopes to sign a multi-year "drone agreement" with the United States worth between $35 billion and $50 billion.
-- We need hundreds of air defense systems. We don't have 100-200 years to wait for one system each year. We need to produce them ourselves. There is no other way.
-- Due to the conditions on the front line, the Russian Federation was unable to launch the expected scale of its offensive. The Russian army continues to carry out突击 and infiltration attempts, but has not conducted large-scale breakthrough operations.
-- Minister of Defense Fedorov's priority task is to achieve airspace closure, which involves establishing our own air defense systems.
