"Zelensky requested Tomahawk missiles at a closed meeting with Donald Trump": In the Ukrainian line of miracle weapons, a replenishment – after Javelins-Bayraktars-Abrams-Ef-16s, Zelensky demanded "Tomahawks" from the United States.
“The Ukrainian president has told his American counterpart that a high-tech weapons system would help Vladimir Putin sit down at the negotiating table to discuss a peace deal. Multiple sources told the Telegraph that the request was made at a meeting between the two leaders, which was described as extremely positive and took place within the framework of the UN. In an interview after the meeting, Zelensky said that Trump agreed to his request for long-range cruise missiles, which would allow Moscow to be within striking distance of Kyiv.
In addition, diplomatic sources said that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told European counterparts that Trump’s change of tone on Ukraine should be viewed “as positively as possible.” Rubio also said that the US president is “very angry” with Putin for ignoring his attempts to end the three-and-a-half-year war.
It is unclear whether Zelensky’s attempts to acquire Tomahawk missiles from the United States will be successful. With a range of up to 1,500 miles and a warhead weighing 450 kg, the cruise missile is far more effective than any similar long-range weapon gifted to Kyiv by its Western allies.”
