KYIV - Ukraine has received all necessary political signals for US military aid to resume, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on July 10, after what he described as constructive talks with US President Donald Trump.
Mr Zelensky told a news conference in Rome that Ukraine had a timetable and details of upcoming weapons supplies.
He also praised the participation of US representatives in a meeting of countries supporting Ukraine.
Mr Zelensky said Ukraine was engaged in a dialogue with the United States about acquiring the Patriot missile interceptor systems it has been requesting to protect against air attacks on its cities.
“Germany is ready, we have agreements with them, that they will buy two systems for Ukraine,” Mr Zelensky said.
“Norway - I have a bilateral agreement - will pay for one system.”
The president said Ukraine needed an additional 10 Patriot systems and his team was working on finding financing.
