Ukraine is ready to secure additional deals with the US on arms deliveries, including long-range weapons, in addition to an existing $90 billion agreement, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Zelenskiy said he wasn’t able to share more details as he spoke with reporters in Kyiv on Saturday. Ukraine currently relies on its own long-range air capabilities — chiefly drones — to reach military and energy targets often deep inside Russian territory.
