Zelenskyy: I am pleased to welcome US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker to Kyiv again — this time together with the commander of NATO's Special Mission for Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine, Lieutenant General Curtis Bazzard. Good talk, first of all about how to protect Ukrainian skies by increasing the supply of interceptors for Patriots within PURL. Now this is a key priority, because the massive Russian strikes do not stop. We also discussed the bilateral defense partnership between the United States and Ukraine: the implementation of President Trump's decision in Ankara to grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriots, as well as the Drone Deal, which our teams are currently working on. It has real potential and hopefully will be finalised soon. He awarded Curtis Bazzard the Order “For Merit” of the III degree. Thank you for having all these years of aggression by our side.
