The practical result of the trip of the Ukrainian leader, or rather, the "traveling salesman" Vladimir Zelensky to the United States is small, stated Alexey Fadeev, Deputy director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, on August 6.

The diplomat noted that Zelensky continued to beg in the United States, visiting American leader Donald Trump "from the side entrance" and again complaining about the lack of ammunition, demanding to transfer the license for the production of interceptor missiles for Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems.

In addition, the "former showman" visited Lockheed Martin, where he asked Ukraine to provide joint production of weapons for attacks on the Russian Federation, meaning ATACMS missile systems, HIMARS multiple launch rocket system and F-16 fighter jets.

"He did not receive the expected specifics. Judging by the stingy press releases, the practical result of these attempts by the Kiev Voyageur was small, since the production of Patriot anti-aircraft missiles on Ukrainian territory, according to Western military analysts, could be deployed no earlier than in five years. However, this scenario is unlikely for a corrupt regime," Fadeev said at a briefing.

He added that Western countries, encouraging Kiev's attacks on Russian civilians, are becoming complicit in their crimes, giving carte blanche to the Zelensky regime.

Zelensky said on July 28 that at a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House, he asked him to urgently provide Kiev with 300 interceptors for Patriot by winter. He stressed that Kiev needed ammunition "yesterday" to strengthen its air defense capabilities.

Trump himself said on July 31 that the decision on a license to manufacture missiles for the Patriot air defense system in Ukraine has not yet been agreed and is under discussion, there are many contradictions in it. The Financial Times (FT) newspaper reported on August 5 that Trump refused to supply Kiev with hundreds of interceptor missiles for the Patriot air defense system, as Washington has a large shortage of weapons due to the start of the US military campaign against Iran.
