Zelensky Accuses Washington of Deliberately Delaying Arms as Trump Presses Ukraine to Negotiate

Says the call with Rubio focused on solid and urgent issues, thanks him for his readiness to help, and stresses the immediate need for interceptor missiles, early-warning data and restored satellite services to save lives.

Has denied any deliberate pause in intelligence sharing or Starlink services and says the service has been restored.

Denies any change to US military aid or intelligence-sharing rules, calls reports that Trump is deliberately harming Ukraine false, says Trump is frustrated by stalled peace talks, and attributes Patriot interceptor shortages to global demand and US security needs rather than refusal.

“'राष्ट्रपति ने अपनी बात बिल्कुल साफ रखी है. हमारी पॉलिसी में ऐसा कोई बदलाव नहीं आया है. मीडिया में आ रही ऐसी रिपोर्ट्स पूरी तरह से गलत हैं. राष्ट्रपति पर ये बेबुनियाद आरोप लगाया जा रहा है कि वो जानबूझकर यूक्रेन को नुकसान पहुंचा रहे हैं, जो कि बिल्कुल गलत और झूठ है. हालांकि, पिछले लगभग दो सालों की कोशिशों के बावजूद शांति वार्ता में प्रगति न होने से राष्ट्रपति जरूर निराश और गुस्से में हैं.'” hi

Tells US senators that administration decisions are hard to explain between friends, that the Pentagon is delaying missiles already paid for through the PURL programme, and that one package awaits Hegseth's signature while European Patriot transfers await US approval.

“"We also know that … the Pentagon is delaying the delivery of missiles that our partners have already paid for through the PURL (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List) programme"”

Rejects Zelensky's suggestion that the disruption of Starlink services in Ukraine was deliberate.

Says Zelensky should have settled the war long ago, would have gotten a better deal had he listened, and that it may be time for someone else to negotiate for Ukraine.

“"Zelenskyy is a man that should have had settled this war a long time ago. If he would've listened to me, he would have made a much better deal a long time ago." "Maybe it's time for Zelenskyy to get somebody else to negotiate."”

Is set to travel to Norway this week for the next round of negotiations on ending the war, with Zelensky expected to attend the Oslo meetings.

Says Ukraine has clear ideas for peace, wants the US to take them to Russia, and proposes a trilateral leaders' meeting.

““We are united with our European partners in this effort, and we want the Americans to take these ideas to the Russians,””

Defends Trump's national-security waiver of Russia sanctions, saying the law allowed it and that Trump is balancing the wider impact of pressure.

““The president chose to use a national security waiver to not immediately implement those [sanctions and restrictions], because he recognises that these things have to be looked at in their totality,””

Pressures Zelensky to settle the war, warns it will be very bad if he does not, says Zelensky could have made a better deal, and says he does not care how a Putin-Zelensky meeting is arranged.

““Zelenskyy has to want to settle this war, and if he doesn’t, I think it’s going to be a very bad thing,””

Denies that the government directed Starshield restrictions and puts responsibility on SpaceX.

Says Starshield is owned and controlled by the US government and any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately the president.

““Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS,””

Says the European Union is getting tired of spending money on Ukraine, urges Zelensky to reach a deal, and asserts that Russia would like to get it done while noting its relentless and numerically unlimited war effort.

“"I think what's happening is that Russia would like to get it done." "Russia is a big machine. They just keep grinding forward," "They have an unlimited supply of people."”

Will travel to St. Petersburg to meet Russia's leadership and convey the ideas discussed with Ukrainian and Nordic leaders in Norway, presenting an updated peace proposal.

Says the talks in Norway were good and constructive and that Witkoff will carry the proposals developed by European and US officials to St. Petersburg, potentially paving the way for a leaders' meeting.

“"good and constructive"”

Announces that Zelensky is expected in Oslo and that he asked Norway and Finland to organise a meeting within ongoing diplomatic efforts at a critical moment for Ukraine.

“"Il presidente Zelensky ha chiesto a Norvegia e Finlandia di organizzare un incontro nell'ambito degli sforzi diplomatici in corso, in un momento critico per l'Ucraina"” it

Requested that Norway and Finland organise a diplomatic meeting amid what the Norwegian government describes as a critical moment for Ukraine.

Says after the Oslo meeting that he is prepared to cease strikes on Russian oil refineries if Moscow takes reciprocal steps, and calls for a trilateral meeting with Putin and Trump.

Says he thinks Russia wants to end the war but doubts Zelensky does, and warns that refusing a deal will make things worse for Ukraine.

“We want Zelensky to make a deal … If they don't make a deal, it's just gonna get worse [for Ukraine].”

Travels to Russia to present Putin with an updated U.S. proposal to end the war after a day of talks with Zelensky and European leaders in Oslo.

Joined the Oslo meeting virtually and again pressed Trump's demand that Ukraine halt strikes on Russian oil refineries.

“Jared was very direct.”

Says he had a constructive discussion with Rubio on early warnings, interceptors and Starlink, and calls the US sanctions waiver for Russian diesel a birthday present for Putin.

“"a happy birthday present"”

Rejects as scandalous the accusation that Ukrainians are dying because the US withheld intelligence, while acknowledging it may be true that Patriot interceptors have not yet arrived and that nothing was denied intentionally.

“"scandalous"”

Has said it is time for Ukraine to get a new president and for someone else to negotiate on its behalf, and has blamed Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries for record fuel prices.

Says the aim of the Oslo talks is to steer relations onto a more constructive path and to ensure the war ends diplomatically with a lasting and just peace.

“"a more constructive path"”

“"This looks very strange," "Sometimes we receive this information before the attack, another time we [do] not."”

Says he hopes a meeting with Trump's envoy can be organised in the near future and that Russia greatly appreciates the mediation efforts of the American negotiators.

“"we greatly appreciate the mediation efforts of the American negotiators"”

Says Moscow will see what Witkoff and Kushner offer but stresses there will be no political concessions from the Kremlin.

“"we'll see what they [Witkoff and Kushner] offer"”

Speaks of mixed pictures and messages on the war, says he is trying to convince Washington that the matter must be resolved jointly, and notes the US has not paid for Ukraine's defence since the start of 2025 while Europe shoulders the budget burden.

“"mixed pictures and messages" "in total that this is something we have to resolve jointly"”

Says Ukraine is certainly a partner in some ways but that interests diverge, that there is no formal alliance and Ukraine should not join NATO, and that Kyiv should stop bombing Russian energy.

“"certainly a partner in some ways, but we have some divergent interests from time to time, like for example... I think they should stop bombing Russian energy"”

Says a Russian drone attack hit the operating room of a cardiology institute in Kyiv, injuring one patient.

Says American decisions are hard to explain between friends, fears a political decision to slow support, and says Ukraine has welcomed every attempt to end the war with dignity.

“"We have welcomed literally EVERY attempt by our partners to end this war with dignity,"”

Denies any pause in intelligence sharing, blames a software problem for the lack of early warnings, and says no one at the White House ordered internet slowdowns.

“"no-one at the White House ordered anyone to slow down internet."”

Calls Zelensky 'not a good guy' and says he 'doesn't know what he's talking about,' while waiving Russia sanctions and striking a diesel deal that Kyiv sees as siding with Moscow.

“"Zelensky's not a good guy for us to deal with,"”

Says the Oslo talks helped straighten out a few things and dismisses digging into past statements.

“"There's nothing to gain from… digging into what was said yesterday or a week ago,"”

Says Trump can always do another U-turn but the current rupture looks bad.

Says he discussed next diplomatic steps with Witkoff and Kushner after the Florida negotiating-team meeting and that Ukraine remains ready to work constructively, honestly and toward a real result.

“"Ukraine remains ready to work constructively, honestly and toward a real result."”

After meeting Witkoff in Oslo, hails the resumption of US intelligence sharing on looming Russian strikes while insisting Kyiv must be included in any future talks on its fate.

Urges Zelensky to make a deal with Russia, says he could have made one two years ago and that his people will not tolerate further delay, and says he has asked Putin at length to release American detainee Stephen Hubbard.

“"We want Zelenskyy to make a deal. He can make a deal. He could have made a deal two years ago when we had our little chat in the Oval Office," "He's going to have to want to make a deal, because I don't think his people are going to stand for it any longer," "I've been talking to President Putin about Mr Hubbard. I've been talking to him at length. I've asked him to release him. Let's see what happens,"”

Welcomes the resumption of US early-warning intelligence sharing, insists Kyiv must be at the table for any talks on Ukraine's future, says Starshield must be restored and interceptors are needed to protect lives, and accuses the Pentagon of delaying paid-for missiles.

“"We are thankful that intelligence works ... I'm speaking about early warning, what is very important for our people, for children, adults, civilians, because we can hear when ballistic is coming,"”

Says he wants Zelensky to make a deal with Russia, accuses him of not trying to resolve the conflict, denies ordering Starshield slowdowns, and is ready to meet Putin and Xi.

“"make a deal"”

Met Zelensky and Kushner in Oslo and is due to fly to St Petersburg to brief Russian leadership.

Says Witkoff will fly to St Petersburg to meet Russian leadership, exchange views on the proposals and possibly pave the way for a leaders' meeting.

“"Steve Witkoff will fly tomorrow to St. Peterburg, where he will be meeting with Russian leadership and exchange ideas from this meeting and the proposals that have been worked on by European and American colleagues, and possibly pave the way for a meeting at leaders' level."”

Hopes a leaders' meeting can be arranged soon so Witkoff can brief Putin on contacts with Ukrainians and Europeans.

“"We hope that it will be possible to arrange a meeting in the very near future, allowing the American negotiators... Mr Witkoff, to brief President Putin on their contacts with both the Ukrainians and the Europeans,"”

Said the order to reduce Starshield speeds could only have come from the White House.

Accuses the Pentagon of deliberately delaying already-paid-for interceptors awaiting Hegseth's signature, says European states are ready to hand over Patriots but lack U.S. authorization, and reports no advance warning before the night's ballistic strikes.

“Tout cela laisse penser qu'une décision politique a été prise pour ralentir le soutien qui nous est apporté.” fr

Says there has been 'no pause' in intelligence sharing with Kyiv and that Zelensky should focus on ending the war.

“Ce sur quoi (Volodymyr Zelensky) doit se concentrer (...) est de mettre fin à la guerre” fr

Says a possible U.S.-Russia-China meeting at the APEC summit in Shenzhen was mentioned but there is no concrete proposal or agreement, and that any deal ending the war without Kyiv's participation is impossible.

Accuses the US government of deliberately slowing support by delaying paid interceptor missile deliveries and says European Patriot transfers are ready but still lack US approval.

“»Die Raketen sind einsatzbereit. Sie könnten bereits in der Ukraine sein. (...) Aber leider ist die Genehmigung noch immer nicht erteilt worden«” de

Rejects accusations that Washington withheld intelligence from Ukraine, attributing the gap to a software problem.

Says the US has given Ukraine much without receiving anything in return and calls Zelensky clueless and no real help in peace efforts.

“»Wir haben der Ukraine viel gegeben – sie hat uns nichts gegeben. Vergessen Sie das nicht«” de

Has neither rejected nor granted final approval for the PURL weapons package, leaving the delivery pending.

Says any limits on Starlink speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately by the US president, attributing responsibility to the Trump administration.

Met US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Oslo after meeting Norway’s prime minister and Finland’s president, amid efforts to repair US-Ukraine relations.

Met Zelensky in Oslo and is expected to travel to Moscow on Wednesday to meet Putin.

Expresses hope that a meeting with Putin can be arranged soon, saying US negotiators including Witkoff can brief Putin on contacts with Ukrainian and European parties and continue exchanging messages between Washington and Moscow.

“امیدواریم که امکان ترتیب دادن دیداری در آینده نزدیک فراهم شود. مذاکره‌کنندگان آمریکایی، از جمله ویتکوف می‌توانند پوتین را از تماس‌های خود با طرف‌های اوکراینی و اروپایی آگاه کنند و همچنین به تبادل پیام‌ها میان واشنگتن و مسکو پیرامون شماری از مسائل بسیار مهم ادامه دهند.” fa

Accuses the Pentagon of delaying missiles already paid for by European allies and says European Patriot transfers await a US green light, while reporting another overnight attack that came without early warning from partners.

“"The missiles are ready, and they could already be in Ukraine," "But unfortunately, there is still no approval." "Another Russian ballistic missile attack came in several waves overnight, and once again, there was no early warning from our partners"”

Insists that Washington has not paused its intelligence sharing with Kyiv.

Says the US has given a lot to Ukraine and received nothing, that Zelensky does not know what he is talking about regarding the diesel deal, and that it is time for somebody else to negotiate on Ukraine's behalf.

“"We've given a lot to Ukraine. They've given nothing to us. Remember that," "Zelenskyy doesn't know what he's talking about," "To be honest, I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine."”

Says Ukraine offered two ways to stop strikes on Russian refineries—one rejected by Putin and a 30-day pause tied to US Patriot help ignored by Trump—confirms US delays of paid interceptors, and says Kyiv will resume deep and middle strikes.

“"Нехай росіяни припинять атакувати нашу електроенергетику, і ми припинемо бити по їхніх нафтопереробних заводах"” uk

Ignored Ukraine's 30-day energy-strike proposal, struck a diesel deal with Russia, restricted the StarShield package, threatened intelligence cutoffs, and called for a new Ukrainian president; also said Russia behaved normally toward Ukraine.

“"поводилася нормально щодо України"” uk

Rejected Ukraine's proposal for a reciprocal halt to strikes on energy infrastructure.

Says Trump wrongly blamed Ukraine for record diesel prices, which were driven by the war against Iran rather than strikes on Russian refineries.

Denounces the delivery delays along with Starlink restrictions and gaps in U.S. military intelligence, linking them to pressure to accept a deal with Moscow.

Says interceptor shipments may be held up because they are constantly reviewed against whether they are needed elsewhere or should stay in Europe, while denying a deliberate directive against Ukraine.

“Podría ser el caso. Estas cuestiones se revisan constantemente, según si los interceptores se necesitan en otro escenario o deben permanecer en Europa.” es

“"But unfortunately, there is still no approval."”

Denies that intelligence sharing with Ukraine was withdrawn and backs Trump’s call for Zelensky to focus on ending the conflict.

Defends the diesel deal with Putin, says Zelensky does not know what he is talking about, and suggests someone else should negotiate on behalf of Ukraine.

“"To be honest, I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine."”

Has not yet authorized the latest US weapons package paid for by NATO allies under the PURL program.

Says he will join Zelensky and Stoere to discuss Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine and Europe’s general security situation.

“„războiul ilegal de agresiune al Rusiei împotriva Ucrainei și situația generală de securitate din Europa”” ro

“"Veamos qué tiene que decir (Vladimir) Putin"” es

Will travel to Moscow on Wednesday after meeting Zelensky in Oslo to pursue a trilateral leaders’ meeting.

Has refused to accept the US-proposed energy truce and continued attacks, according to Zelensky.

Says delays in supplying anti-ballistic systems lead directly to death and destruction, and proposes swapping Ukraine's combat-tested interceptor drones for PAC-3 rounds.

Argues the constraint on Patriot deliveries is a fixed production ceiling and simultaneous demand from three theaters, not a lack of Western resolve, and that cheap interceptor drones are the durable answer.

Estimates the Iran war drew down the U.S. stockpile of modern Patriot interceptors by roughly 65 percent.

Said Ukrainian and US negotiators may meet in Norway soon and had spoken by phone with Witkoff and Kushner on 18 October.

Plans to travel to Russia to meet Putin after the Oslo talks, with discussions expected to include the war and the release of Stephen Hubbard.

May not attend the Oslo talks in person because he is ill and could join online.

Criticizes Trump for choosing Russia's side by lifting sanctions on Russian oil, saying Trump is on the wrong side of history and that Ukraine is losing a strong partner; also says he is ready to run for re-election if a wartime vote is held.

“"When President Trump chooses one side, not our side. If you're in the middle, you have to stay in the middle, not on the wrong side… I don't know who pushed (Trump), but this is not the right side of history."”

Has turned toward Russia by lifting sanctions on Russian oil and striking deals with Moscow while obstructing Ukraine's ability to defend itself, according to the article.

Says Zelensky is delicate but firm and cannot stay silent when Trump has effectively struck a deal with Putin; argues Ukraine should appeal to forces that can limit Trump's mistakes rather than take sides in US elections.

“"The president can't stay silent when Trump has effectively struck a deal with Putin. The masks have been taken off. Trump doesn't want Ukraine to win."”

Calls Zelensky's pushback appropriate and says Trump's view of reality is distorted; argues Zelensky's foreign-policy moves also serve domestic politics as his ratings rise.

“"This is not about personal attitudes, but about seeing reality as it is. Trump's view of reality is distorted,"”

Says Washington approved delivery of only some PURL-funded interceptors and that the shortfall is political rather than technical, while offering to halt strikes on Russian diesel in return for Patriot missiles.

“The American side approved the delivery of only some of them, but not the rest. And this is not a technical issue.”

Previously told Zelensky Ukraine could produce Patriot missiles domestically, then walked back the promise a few weeks later, saying licenses had not been agreed.

Says Washington has delivered only part of the NATO-financed Patriot missiles and is now supplying about 12 interceptors a month, roughly a quarter of the Biden-era rate.

“Das ist kein technisches Problem.” de

Defends suspending sanctions on Russia as necessary to keep Moscow at the negotiating table and reports 'major progress' in talks without giving details.

Confirms a possible Trump-Putin-Xi meeting was discussed but says there are no clear plans for the meeting itself or its agenda.

Says a U.S.-Russia-China summit would encourage Putin to prolong the war, and that Kyiv instead relies on a trilateral meeting with the U.S. and Russia to end it diplomatically.

Says Hegseth is deliberately withholding Patriot interceptors and AIM-9X missiles for NASAMS, that Ukraine has almost no American missiles left, that ballistic warnings failed three times in a week, and that Starlink/Starshield are partly restricted.

“Все это указывает на то, что было принято некое политическое решение замедлить нашу поддержку. Мы хотим понять, что происходит, почему это происходит и к чему все это ведет.” ru

Says Congress remains intent on supporting Ukraine and European allies to end Russian aggression and secure a durable peace.

Stresses that bipartisan support for Ukraine was evident and unconditional and says senators will express it through upcoming actions.

Says Ukraine and Russia should focus on ending the war, warns of escalation and spillover, and confirms talks about a possible trilateral summit though it is not finalized.

“"There's been talks of a meeting. I don't know whether it's been finalized, but the president has been clear. He'd like the war in Ukraine and Russia to end,"”

Accuses Zelensky of not wanting to end the war, says he could have made a better deal two years ago, and describes Ukraine as being in shambles.

“"He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles."”

Confirms that a hypothetical trilateral summit was under discussion.

Accuses Washington of deliberately delaying already-paid Patriot and AIM-9X deliveries and of curtailing intelligence warnings and Starlink/Starshield capabilities, saying Ukrainian missile stocks are nearly exhausted.

Explained Ukraine's missing warning of a Russian missile attack on Oct. 19 as a technical failure in Ukraine's early-warning system.

Denied that the US had stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Denies any deliberate policy to harm Ukraine or withhold intelligence, weapons, or Starshield; acknowledges Patriot delivery delays are due to balancing US stockpiles and says missed warnings were a technical error; says Trump is hurt and angry at accusations.

“‘निसन्देह दुई देशबिच तनाव छ। तर, युक्रेनलाई जानीजानी नोक्सान पुर्याउन कुनै राजनीतिक निर्देशन दिइएको छैन। हामी हाम्रा साझेदारप्रतिको दायित्व र आफ्नै आवश्यकताबिच सन्तुलन मिलाइरहेका छौँ,’” ne

Denies the US is deliberately denying Ukraine air-defense missiles or early warnings, calls reports of withheld alerts outrageous, and says nothing in US policy toward Ukraine has changed.

“"There's nothing being deliberately denied to Ukraine,"”

Warns Ukraine will struggle badly without US support and cannot survive if Washington openly sides with Putin; hopes the US stays with Ukraine or at least in the middle.

“«Без США нам буде дуже важко. Але якщо США офіційно стануть на бік Путіна і підтримуватимуть Росію, ми не вистоїмо. Ми сподіваємося, що президент США буде на нашому боці або щонайменше посередині»” uk

Says he does not know why Kyiv did not receive early warning of Russian ballistic missile strikes on the night of Oct. 19.

Criticizes Zelensky, says someone else should negotiate on Ukraine's behalf, and claims Zelensky does not want to stop the war.

“«настав час комусь іншому вести переговори від імені України»” uk

Agrees Ukraine would be very hard pressed without US support, citing dependence on US intelligence, Starlink, and Patriot air defense.

“«Відповідь на це питання дав президент України, коли його запитали, він сказав, що нам буде дуже важко. І про перемогу тоді точно не йтиметься. Тобто президент це максимально сформулював чітко, розуміючи нашу залежність в питаннях розвідувальних даних, і це дуже широкий спектр питань. Starlink – не лише засіб зв'язку, але і засіб управління відповідними засобами враження. Ну, і протиповітряна, протиракетна оборона, яка стосується Patriot. Тобто я не бачу причин не погоджуватися з оцінкою президента України»” uk

Says US aid is critical not by volume but by unique capabilities: SBIRS early warning, Patriot interceptor production, and Starlink/Starshield; Europe cannot compensate equally.

“«Ми маємо розуміти, що допомога Сполучених Штатів є критичною. Не за обсягом, а за напрямками. Мова йде про унікальні розвіддані»” uk

Says Ukraine will survive without US support but with much greater difficulty and additional losses; Europe can replace much but not everything, and the US administration operates on transactional logic.

“«Так, Україна вистоїть, але нам буде набагато складніше. І, скоріш за все, це буде пов'язано з додатковими втратами з нашого боку. Європа та інші союзники можуть багато в чому замінити Сполучені Штати, але далеко не у всьому»” uk

Says Europe's ability to support Ukraine depends on whether Europeans recognize risks to their own security; urges the US not to delay PURL weapons already paid for by European countries.

Assesses that Russia remains unwilling to negotiate constructively or make concessions and seeks Ukraine's capitulation; says Putin used an Oct. 9 call with Trump to blame Ukraine for lack of progress.

Says Starlink and Starshield speed limitations remain in place in several front-line areas and that the US has given no explanation.

Says Russia has behaved well with Ukraine and has not done much, despite continued Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure.

“« s'est bien comportée avec l'Ukraine et n'a pas fait grand-chose »” fr

Reiterates that Western weapons deliveries to Ukraine cannot change the course of the conflict but prolong it and obstruct a political-diplomatic settlement.

Calls Zelensky reckless over his claims that the U.S. government caused Starlink restrictions and that intelligence sharing was paused, which Bessent says is untrue.

Proposed halting attacks on Russian oil refineries in exchange for receiving Patriot missiles.

Restricted aid to Ukraine to pressure Zelensky into a deal involving concessions to Russia and announced an agreement with Russia to purchase diesel.

“„(Witkoff) találkozni fog az orosz vezetéssel, és véleményt cserélnek erről a találkozóról, valamint azokról a javaslatokról, amelyeken az európai és amerikai kollégák dolgoztak, és esetleg előkészítik a terepet egy vezetői szintű találkozóhoz”” hu

Says there has been real progress in proposals for peace but gives no details and warns patience is needed.

Requested the September summit with Takaichi, with Kyiv pressing Japan for stronger defense assistance and weapons-export openings.

Told Zelensky at their first summit in New York that Japan stands with Ukraine and that its policy will not waver, restating support in terms used repeatedly by the Japanese government.

“我が国はウクライナと共にあり、その方針に揺るぎはない” ja

Says Ukraine again received no US warning before a Russian missile barrage and warns that blocked air-defence missiles alongside sanctions relief for Russia amount to a denial of reality by partners.

“"When the supply of missiles for Ukrainian air defence is blocked, and Russia receives sanctions relief or delays, it is, unfortunately, a denial of reality on the part of our partners."”

Says he does not know whether a warning failure happened that night but cites a software problem in Ukraine’s early warning system a few nights earlier.

““If it happened last night, I don’t know exactly. I know a few nights ago there was a software problem involving their early warning system.””

Says he is negotiating peace and does not want to drive Russia from the table, accuses Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war, and floats a trilateral meeting with Russia and China on denuclearisation.

“"We would have it to talk about nuclear weapons and denuclearisation. If President Xi wants to have it, I’d have it."”

Asked Putin for a humanitarian ceasefire and urged both sides to allow aid into Oleshky and civilians to leave, according to the Vatican.

Says Ukraine received no warning before the first Russian missile barrage on Kyiv but did receive one before a subsequent 3am strike.

Condemns the Russian drone strike on a park in Nova Vodolaha as a terrorist act, noting there was no military infrastructure there.

““the enemy strikes a recreational park in the middle of the day, knowing that there is no military infrastructure there at all””

Told Pope Leo XIV that Kyiv bears responsibility for the difficult humanitarian situation in Oleshky.

““the Kyiv regime’s responsibility for the difficult humanitarian situation””

Has embraced Russia and slammed Ukraine in recent weeks, coinciding with the stalled missile transfers.

Has not approved the transfer of Patriot interceptor missiles that require his authorization for handoff from partner countries, according to U.S. officials cited in the report.

Says he met Lockheed Martin's team in Kyiv to discuss expanding Patriot interceptor supplies and setting up F-16 repair in Ukraine, noting both systems are under strain and Ukraine hopes to buy interceptors.

““We count on the opportunity to purchase some of them to protect more lives,””
