U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he will probably meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during this week’s NATO summit, offering Kyiv an opportunity to push for U.S. Patriot missiles and stronger sanctions on Russia.
Trump made the remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, ahead of the NATO summit taking place in The Hague on Tuesday and Wednesday. A White House official also confirmed that a meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy was likely during the summit.
Last week, Trump pulled out of a potential meeting with Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in Canada, leaving early to focus on the Middle East crisis. Now, the NATO summit could provide a key moment for Ukraine to advance its case with Washington.
Ahead of the summit, Zelenskyy laid out his priorities should the meeting with Trump happen. Speaking in comments released by his office on Saturday, the Ukrainian leader said his first priority was securing U.S.-made Patriot missile systems. He noted that his aides had already presented a detailed weapons wish list to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during the G7 summit.
“We are ready to find the money for this whole package,” Zelenskyy stressed, emphasizing that Ukraine was prepared to purchase the air defence systems, rather than rely solely on military aid.
Zelenskyy’s second priority was to push for tougher sanctions against Russia, and thirdly, to explore further diplomatic efforts to apply more pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
