The Ukrainian president made the corresponding statement in an interview with Axios.Specifically, as Zelenskyy noted, Trump told him that Ukraine should respond to Russian strikes on energy facilities.“If they attack our energy infrastructure, President Trump supports the idea that we can respond regarding energy,” he said.In addition, according to him, Trump said the same about drone production factories or missile bases. Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine already has drones that can strike deep inside Russia, but also said that there is an additional weapons system he wants to obtain to accelerate the end of the war."President Trump knows, I told him yesterday, what we need, one thing. We need it, but that doesn't mean we will use it. Because if we do, I think it will put additional pressure on Putin to sit down and speak out," he added.Zelenskyy said he would name this system as soon as the cameras were turned off, adding that Trump replied to him: "We will work on it."Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
