>>194439Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa - As for the $27 billion state budget deficit, most of this money is for our drones, missiles, and supplies for our warriors. A third of this funding is for drones for January, February, and March 2027. And if we do not order and pay for them in October and November, we will face serious challenges.
We discussed this in detail with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva – what programs could be available and how to help Ukraine. The response has been positive and constructive. Everyone understands that covering this deficit is very important. Everyone understands that Ukraine cannot be left on its own and that more must be invested in Ukrainian-made drones and missiles, because most of this deficit is precisely the funding needed for weapons. Everyone understands how difficult it is to get through this period amid constant strikes. Ukraine will not be left alone. The EU supports us, and the IMF will continue its programs. I received a positive response from our partners. I am grateful to them.
I have handed this entire framework over to the Prime Minister of Ukraine. Together with the Minister of Finance and the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, he will work through all the details, because some of this funding could come through the Drone Deal format. After that, a meeting will take place either in Ukraine or in Brussels in the near future.

After that, our negotiating teams held a separate, long meeting. The agreement is as follows: we will brief the European side and discuss these details with them; the Americans will speak with the Russians; and in ten days, we will come back with views and results in some shape or form.
As for a trilateral Ukraine-U.S.-Russia meeting, the American side proposed preparing it and meeting at the technical level. We are waiting for the United States to propose a date. The United States proposed the United Arab Emirates as the venue for such a meeting.
There are concrete agreements regarding Patriot licenses. At our meeting, President Trump stressed that he had made his final decision: Ukraine will receive licenses to produce Patriot missiles.

Last night, thanks to our long-range sanctions, two oil refineries were hit – in Perm and Novoshakhtinsk. There were also hits on the Iskra Plant defense enterprise in Ulyanovsk, and the occupiers now have two fewer radar stations in the Rostov region. I thank our warriors and every unit involved for their accuracy and for systematically limiting Russia’s ability to kill. Glory to Ukraine!
