What's next: Ukraine is pressing for faster air-defense support as Zelensky warns Russia could launch a major strike within 48 hours.
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are scheduled to meet in Washington on July 28, according to a White House official. A Ukrainian source said Zelensky wanted to travel to the United States but his team had been waiting for final confirmation from the White House. In a video address, Zelensky said Ukraine was preparing talks with Trump and his team while urging partners to move quickly on air-defense support. He said strengthening those systems remained Kyiv’s top priority and argued Ukraine’s needs should be explained more broadly to international audiences. Zelensky also said intelligence from Ukraine and partner countries indicated Russia could be preparing a major missile attack within 48 hours.
