During last week's G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, US President Donald Trump told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he was impressed by Ukraine's recent military successes, particularly its long-range strikes against Russian targets deep within Russia's territory. According to anonymous Ukrainian officials cited by the European Union's 'European Pravda' and referencing the Financial Times, Trump appears more supportive of increasing aid to Kyiv and potentially more willing to pressure Russia to end the war. However, skepticism remains regarding whether Trump will follow through on past promises. After meetings with Zelenskyy, Trump, and other leaders, there is cautious optimism about progress in obtaining Patriot missile systems and weapons production licenses. NATO officials noted that Ukraine's proper supply of arms allows it to achieve real operational results, and that Russia's defensive lines are not impenetrable. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron reported that Trump has shifted his position on the Russia-Ukraine war after the G7 summit. The Kremlin criticized European leaders for influencing Trump with 'harmful ideas.'

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is prepared to begin producing Patriot missile systems, with all interested parties having agreed in principle. The final approval from the White House remains pending. During a meeting at the G7 summit this week, discussions included lifting sanctions against Russia and granting Ukraine licenses to manufacture American air defense systems. Zelenskyy noted that the U.S. team has positively responded to the licensing request, which had previously been uncertain. He emphasized that while the U.S. produces around 700 Patriot missiles annually, Germany has recently started production under a license, but this will still be insufficient. Ukraine has signed a contract with Germany for 600 missiles, though the process will take time. Experts estimate that even if Ukraine secures the necessary licenses, production could take at least three years, citing Poland's experience with similar delays.
