I will also have the opportunity to come to Washington and hold a meeting on Friday with President Trump. I think we will discuss the sequence of steps that I want to propose. I am grateful to President Trump for our dialogue and support. There will also be several other important meetings – with defense companies, and possibly meetings with senators and congressmen. I will also have meetings with energy companies. This is necessary – this was President Trump's proposal – and I will meet with companies because there are needs now due to various forms of attacks, not even the attacks that Russia has already carried out. We need to prepare anyway. So it will be useful

The President added that the main topics of the visit are air defense and our long-range capabilities to put pressure on Russia for peace.
