President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held talks in Turkey on Wednesday, with the U.S. leader stating afterward on Truth Social that the meeting was productive and that all parties seek a resolution. Trump reported that he had also spoken with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on July 4, though Moscow continued air attacks on Kyiv. During the meeting, Trump indicated the U.S. would permit Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missile systems domestically to bolster its defenses. When asked about security guarantees, Trump cited the Atlantic Ocean as a buffer but emphasized the objective of limiting casualties in the protracted war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio observed that recent changes on the battlefield had made it harder for Russia to protect its airspace, which he hoped might open room for negotiations. Zelenskyy also described the encounter optimistically on social media.
