‘Testing is now underway’: Zelenskyy confirms progress on major US defense deals

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy confirmed the United States is testing Ukrainian-made aerial and maritime drones, with positive feedback, signaling progress on a stalled multibillion-dollar defense deal. The testing, part of a potential $35-50 billion partnership, follows U.S. President Trump's pledge to grant Ukraine a license to build Patriot interceptors, though the full deal remains unsigned pending Trump's approval.
