Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday (October 12) he spoke to US President Donald Trump for the second time in two days and described the conversation as ‘very productive’. “We have covered all the aspects of the situation: defense of life in our country, strengthening our abilities-in air defense, resilience and long-distance abilities,” Zelensky said in a post about X. Zelensky added that both countries would work to strengthen Ukraine’s “defense capacity.” “We agreed with President Trump that our teams, our army will handle everything we have discussed,” he said without expanding. The White House did not immediately comment on the call. Russia is strengthening strikes amid the global attention that Zelensky warned that Russia “benefits” from the global focus that is moving away from Ukraine to strengthen the bombing of the country. Moscow renewed air strikes against Ukraine’s energy net, leaving hundreds of thousands without power before the winter. In a call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Zelensky emphasized the increasing intensity of the attacks and called them “even more dull”. “Russia is now utilizing the moment – the fact that the Middle East and household issues in each country receive maximum attention,” Zelensky said. Requests for advanced weapons over the past few weeks have focused the Ukraine Washington to provide Kyiv with the long-distance tomahawk missiles, a request that the White House says it is considering. Russia has warned that providing such weapons could break the US Russia tires and increase the conflict. Kremlin spokeswoman Dmitri Peskov repeated the warning of Moscow on Sunday, indicating that any introduction could be considered as potentially nuclear turf. ‘Just imagine, a long-distance rack takes up and flies, and we know it can be nuclear weapon. What is the Russian Federation to think? ‘ Peskov told State Media. According to regional officials, Russia continued a fresh wave of strikes in Ukraine and wounded more than a dozen in at least four regions. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and set it up as a ‘special military operation’ to demilitarize the country and prevent the expansion of the NATO. Kyiv and his European allies call it an illegal land grab, resulting in tens of thousands of civil and military casualties. Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced, and Russia is currently about a fifth of the Ukrainian area, many of which have been destroyed by fights.
