Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called on the US, which supplies missiles purchased by NATO allies under a program known as PURL, to speed up deliveries ahead of winter.
“They agreed. You know why? Because I said, ‘You agree’ - that’s why,” Trump responded. “They agreed because I said they agreed, and that thing has to get settled.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that Russia wanted a long-term peace deal rather than a temporary ceasefire.
The comments came in response to President Donald Trump’s claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had missed several opportunities to end the war.
Zelensky said that Trump's ceasefire announcement "was news for me," he told Axios following the announcement.
Fourteen others were wounded in the attack on Zaporizhzhia, an industrial city whose outskirts lie less than 30 km from the frontline of the war.
The sanctions were brought against companies, including those allegedly involved in Russian financial services and entities that facilitate the production and trade of Russian ballistic missiles.
Zelensky warned the Israeli delegation that the drones Iran is developing together with Russia, combined with the operational experience the two countries are gaining, could become a threat.
"There is updated intelligence indicating that Russia is preparing a massive attack," Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
"These shipments began precisely when Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries were reducing processing volumes and creating a fuel shortage within Russia."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to verify the NYT report in an interview with Reuters, adding that Ukraine would "respond in any way (we can)."
