Zelenskyy later shared details about the meeting, expressing gratitude to the U.S. defense chief for the aid package, which includes ammunition, military equipment, and weapons.

Additionally, we focused on efforts to increase the production of strike drones, cruise missiles, artillery shells, and air defense systems," Zelenskyy said.

He also thanked U.S. President Joe Biden, both parties in the U.S. Congress, and the American people for their continued support since Russia's full-scale invasion.
