    Zelenskyy posted that he met with officials from Lockheed Martin for further cooperation in both defense production and exchanging of technologies, saying, “Ukraine has a lot to share with those who help us protect lives.”

    Seems Ukraine will also soon receive the license to produce Patriot missiles.

          Well, the Orange it reportedly already having second thoughts. I wouldn’t count too much that it will actually happen because he doesn’t care at all about Ukraine.

            You’re absolutely right, Mango Mussolini is an unreliable ally, but if the MIC can make money for no effort in licence fees I suspect this will stick.

              Hopefully. Though there might be other factors in play, such as “friendly” call with Putin. Fingers crossed.

    Trump wants to be associated with a winner. He would have happily let Ukraine burn. If Russia was winning, this meeting would never have happened. Zelenskyy knows this, but he also knows that an unreliable US ally is better than a US that’s helping the enemy.

      He doesn’t need to. He realized he just needs to call him a great leader and Trump will eat that right up. Trump would then do everything for him until his aides tell him not to.
