Zelenskyy and Trump Discuss Bolstering Ukraine's Defence in Phone Call

On Oct. 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump for the second time in two days to discuss strengthening Kyiv's air defences and long-range strike capabilities.
Russia's intensifying strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and escalation at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant reflect a broader campaign amid setbacks, prompting urgent talks.
Zelenskyy highlighted that the Saturday call was 'very positive and productive' and said, 'We see and hear that Russia fears the Americans might provide us with Tomahawks,' while discussing Ukraine's energy sector.
Trump told reporters on Monday he wanted clarity on how Ukraine would use Tomahawk missiles before deciding on supply, while the White House has not yet commented and Trump said on Oct. 6 he had "sort of made a decision."
Reports of U.S. targeting data assistance frame the operational backdrop for policy choices, while Zelenskyy said Trump "is well-informed about everything that is happening" and the second call reviewed planned issues amid global diplomatic attention to the Middle East.
