UKRAINE, AUG 5 – Zelenskyy praised Trump for his sanctions pressure on Russia and progress on a $30 billion US-Ukraine drone deal ahead of the August 8 ceasefire deadline.
- On August 5, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in a constructive discussion with US President Donald Trump, addressing topics such as the upcoming ceasefire deadline, sanctions on Russia, and a US-Ukraine drone production agreement.
