Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Trump for his “willingness to support Ukraine.” In Kyiv, resident Nina Tokar, 70, said Tuesday that with more U.S. weapons going to Ukraine “maybe this will all end faster.”

Kremlin says US president’s recent statements were ‘very serious’ and that it needs ‘time to analyse’ remarks.

Russia launched four missiles and 136 drones into Ukraine overnight into Monday morning, according to Ukraine's air force, after President Donald Trump said the U.S. would provide Kyiv with more Patriot surface-to-air systems to help defend against Russia's nightly bombardments.
