"This follows two phone calls between the presidents over the weekend, which discussed the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and the possibilities of ending the war started by Russia. The Ukrainian delegation has also begun talks with American colleagues in Washington," Miller wrote.
It is noted that on Saturday, October 11, Zelensky issued a statement after his conversation with Trump. In it, Zelensky said that he congratulated the US president on the peace agreement in the Middle East, and that the conversation also discussed Ukraine, more specifically, Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy sector.
"We talked about the possibilities of strengthening our air defense system and the agreements we are preparing on this issue. There are good options and strong ideas on how to strengthen us," Zelensky said.
At the same time, Axios reported that the leaders of the two countries also discussed the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. However, it is currently unknown whether a final decision has been made.
A day later, on Sunday, October 12, Zelensky spoke with Trump again, this time discussing Ukraine's air defense capabilities, as well as energy.
In an interview with Fox News released on the evening of October 12, Zelensky spoke about whether Trump had approved the delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
"I'm waiting for President Trump's decision. Yes, of course, we would like such a decision, but let's see," Zelensky said. According to him, the US president also acknowledged that"the situation in Ukraine is more complicated than in the Middle East."
