Zelensky: Patriot systems critical, territorial issues for presidents

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Patriot air defense systems are a critical and urgent issue, with Ukraine relying on a "winter package" if the war continues into the cold season. Zelensky stated that territorial questions were discussed but believes such complex issues can only be resolved at the level of presidents. He confirmed three rounds of "very substantial" negotiations with US representatives Steve and Jared and European partners. Kiev also counts on air defense, energy support, and American liquefied natural gas. Talks covered security and economic guarantees, reconstruction, and a "prosperity plan," with Zelensky emphasizing the need for a strong army backed by solid guarantees.
