Details: The flight from Shannon Airport in Ireland lasted six hours and thirty-nine minutes.

Updated : Later, Zelenskyy posted a video of his arrival in the United States on social media and outlined his plans for the next two days.

Quote: "Today, I am having meetings with representatives of defence companies – producers of powerful weapons that can definitely strengthen our protection. In particular, we will discuss additional supplies of air defense systems.

I will also meet today with representatives of American energy companies. Now, as Russia is betting on terror against our energy sector and carrying out daily strikes, we are working to ensure Ukraine's resilience."

More details: A meeting with US President Donald Trump is scheduled for 17 October.

Quote: "We expect that the momentum of curbing terror and war that succeeded in the Middle East will help to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Putin is certainly no braver than Hamas or any other terrorist.

The language of strength and justice will inevitably work against Russia as well. We can already see that Moscow is rushing to resume dialogue as soon as it hears about Tomahawks."

Background:

• Trump and Zelenskyy are set to meet on 17 October, with the possible delivery of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine among the key topics for discussion.
• On 16 October, Trump held a phone conversation with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
