On Friday, October 17, U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss Ukraine’s offensive. The meeting is expected to discuss the provision of Tomahawk cruise missiles and Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, which could affect plans for a counteroffensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by Politico<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The American leader said the day before that Kyiv wants to go on the offensive.<\/p>\n

“They want to go on the offensive. I will make a decision on that, but they would like to go on the offensive,” he said.<\/p>\n

According to the report, both Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump are expected to discuss the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles and Patriot air defense systems during a meeting at the White House.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian delegation this week has already met with Raytheon, the manufacturer of Tomahawk, as well as with the manufacturers of Patriot systems.<\/p>\n

Kyiv hopes that Friday’s meeting will help it obtain the modern weapons needed to conduct another counter-offensive operation against the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

“We can really go on the offensive – it all depends on the weapons we get and the approved plan,” a senior Ukrainian official said on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

Recall that American leader Donald Trump said that during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy they would talk about weapons.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was previously reported that Volodymyr Zelenskyy will likely meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday, October 17<\/a> .<\/p>\n

By the way, US President Donald Trump is working on creating a victory fund for Ukraine<\/a> , which will be financed by new tariffs against China. The funds from these tariffs are planned to be used to purchase weapons for the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n
