Zelensky on his #UNGA81 meeting with Trump: "At our meeting, President Trump stressed that he had made his final decision: Ukraine will receive licenses to produce Patriot missiles."
President Trump and I had a meeting where we discussed general matters. After that, our negotiating teams held a separate, long meeting. The agreement is as follows: we will brief the European side and discuss these details with them; the Americans will speak with the Russians; and in ten days, we will come back with views and results in some shape or form. As for a trilateral Ukraine-U.S.-Russia meeting, the American side proposed preparing it and meeting at the technical level. We are waiting for the United States to propose a date. The United States proposed the United Arab Emirates as the venue for such a meeting. There are concrete agreements regarding Patriot licenses. At our meeting, President Trump stressed that he had made his final decision: Ukraine will receive licenses to produce Patriot missiles. From answers to journalists’ questions. (1/3)

.@NEWSMAX EXCLUSIVE: A senior Ukrainian official tells me Trump-Zelenskyy bilateral meeting was “very good. In terms of tone and reception, it was very positive.” According to the source, Ukrainian side has confirmed their "readiness for energy cease-fire." Source also tells me, Ukrainian negotiators are meeting with Europeans tonight (E3 country representatives – France, Germany, and the UK) to discuss “possible deescalation efforts and ideas for Witkoff & Kushner and let them talk to Russian side after that”. According to the official, Ukrainians also mentioned Starlink [using Starlink for hitting targets inside Russia]. To which POTUS said - “You have to talk to Elon about it”. Topic of licensing Patriot production was also discussed, but "that is a long-term issue." source tells me.

Trump was speaking at the opening of the new White House helipad. The television networks did not send cameras to cover the event. The audio from this White House livestream was badly distorted and the president’s remarks were largely unintelligible.
