Ukrainian President Volodmir Zelenski said on Monday that the United States remains engaged in the diplomatic process, adding that more than 20 countries are already working with Ukraine at various levels to conclude drone agreements and that more are to come.
“It is clear that the war in Iran is now attracting the greatest attention of America and the US president, but there is a priority there, as well as the support of the American people: to put an end to this war in Europe as well,” Zelenski wrote on the X network.
According to him, preparations for the drone agreement with Canada represent a very significant expansion of security cooperation. “Both in the US and in Europe, we are doing our best so that we can produce enough anti-ballistic missiles here in Ukraine or jointly with partners. That is our constant task – additional missiles for air defense,” he added.
On Sunday, Russia and Ukraine traded accusations of violating the US-brokered ceasefire, with both sides claiming to have suffered casualties from drone and artillery attacks since the truce came into force on Saturday morning.
In parallel, Zelensky’s former chief of staff was charged with money laundering as part of a wide-ranging corruption investigation, according to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).
