On Friday at 1:00 pm Eastern Ukraine’s Dictator Vladimir Zelensky is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House where he will beg for long-range missiles to strike targets deep within Russia.
“The main focus of the visit is air defense and our long-range capabilities,” Ukraine’s Dictator said Tuesday.
Notably, when the autopen presidency of Joe Biden approved the use of long-range missiles against targets deep within Russia last year, a thermonuclear war nearly broke out.
The President has been mulling over the idea of sending long-range missiles to Ukraine over the last several weeks. The missile’s in question are nuclear-capable, and only after they strike their targets deep within Russia will Moscow know if they are being nuked or not.
On Thursday President Trump held a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump reported the call was productive and provided details of upcoming meetings that aim to end the Ukraine war.
Zelensky managed to maintain civility during his last White House visit in August, a polite surprise after his fiery February failure.

The Dictator and his henchmen were meeting with U.S. officials and representatives from the military industrial complex and energy sector on Thursday to seek weapons and resources to continue their war.
I met with representatives of the defense company Raytheon, which produces, in particular, Patriot systems.
I told them about the battlefield situation and Russia’s intensified attacks on our people and civilian infrastructure.
We discussed Raytheon’s production capacity, potential avenues for our cooperation to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and long-range capabilities, and the prospects for Ukrainian-American joint production. Solutions to enhance the protection of lives in Ukraine exist, and we are working at all levels to ensure their realization.
I thank Raytheon for its readiness to continue supporting Ukraine.

I had a meeting with representatives of the defense company Lockheed Martin.
We discussed our prospects for cooperation and ways to strengthen Ukraine’s protection against Russian aggression.
I outlined Ukraine’s specific needs for air defense systems and their compatible missiles, as well as F-16 aircraft. Russia is carrying out increasingly brutal strikes against Ukraine ahead of winter, and our air defenses need to be reinforced right now. We know the concrete steps required for our defense and are working to implement them.

During my meeting with Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy Chris Wright, we discussed in detail energy capacities and potential projects for partnership in the energy sector.
I spoke about Russia’s strikes on Ukraine’s energy system and the need to restore the affected facilities as quickly as possible. I am grateful for the readiness to provide everything necessary to ensure the continued functioning of our energy system.
It is important for us to develop cooperation between Ukraine and the United States, particularly by expanding the presence of American businesses in Ukraine.

I met with executives of American energy companies. The challenge is clear – Ukraine needs more strength, and we can achieve this together. We discussed the urgent needs of the moment – very concrete measures to support our energy system, as well as long-term cooperation. There are specific projects that could create more opportunities for both our countries. Thank you!
