In his evening address, Zelenskyy said he had instructed Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi to strengthen contacts with the U.S. side. He added that political decisions have already been made and must be implemented quickly to protect both people and Ukrainian positions.“First of all, this concerns air defense, as well as all other supplies from the United States. These are critical for protecting the lives of our people and defending Ukrainian cities and villages,” President Zelenskyy said. “I expect results from these contacts soon. In fact, this week we are preparing formats for meetings between our military and political teams.”On July 8, U.S. President Donald Trump said he was not happy with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who is “throwing bullshit.” At the same time, he added that he is considering “very tough” sanctions against Moscow.
