Zelensky: Ukraine must adapt to new US political landscape

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Ukraine must adapt to the new US political landscape following the midterm elections to establish dialogue and address its needs. Zelensky stated Ukraine must move toward the new political infrastructure in the US, emphasizing the need to act quickly and unite bipartisan support. He said Kyiv has the means to strengthen backing for Ukraine. Kyiv's priority is bolstering air defenses, particularly securing missiles for US Patriot systems. The State Department approved the sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 missiles last week, though deliveries are not expected until the early 2030s.
