Caption: Zelenskiy Seeks Stronger US Support as Ukraine Prioritises Patriot Missiles. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Ukraine must adapt to America's changing political landscape and strengthen bipartisan support. His comments followed the US midterm elections that handed Democrats control of both chambers of Congress. He hopes to secure aid and recover $16 billion he says Washington promised but never delivered. Strengthening air defences remains Ukraine's top priority, particularly securing missiles for its American-made Patriot defence systems. Washington recently approved selling Ukraine 500 Patriot missiles, but deliveries are expected in the early 2030s. Zelenskiy also wants enough operational F-16 fighter jets available for the next five to six months. Ukraine faces another winter of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, with Kyiv facing the greatest difficulties. US-led peace talks involving Ukraine and Russia are scheduled to resume next week in Abu Dhabi. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
