Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he held a "very important and useful" call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday, July 4.
The call comes after the Trump Administration canceled a planned shipment of weapons to Ukraine over concerns about the diminishing level of U.S. stockpiles.
Russia is also amassing tens of thousands of troops at Ukraine's border, and is pounding Ukrainian cities with drone and missile strikes.
Zelensky, posting to Telegram, said he and Trump agreed to work to increase the protection of Ukraine's skies, and that teams from both countries would meet on that.
He said the Ukrainians also discussed in detail the possibility of joint production by the two countries' defense industries, including projects on drones and related technologies.
They also discussed mutual purchases and investments, Zelensky said.
Zelensky congratulated Trump on Independence Day and thanked him for the support of the American people during Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion.
A day before, Trump had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but emerged "very disappointed" with the conversation.
Putin had told Trump that Russia was focused on meeting its goals in the Ukraine war.
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 to halt Kyiv's move towards the west, including ambitions to join NATO and the European Union (EU).
