During his visit to the USA, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed cautious optimism regarding the possible supply of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, which could help in the Ukrainian war against Russia. He noted that there is no final agreement yet, but Washington is not rejecting this idea for now.
Zelensky's request to the USA for missiles coincided with an increase in Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. This was ambiguously perceived in the Kremlin, where Vladimir Putin called this initiative 'a new stage of escalation'.
US President Donald Trump expressed hope for a long-term resolution to the situation in Ukraine, emphasizing that hostility between Zelensky and Putin needs to be reduced to achieve peace agreements. Trump plans to hold a 'second round' of negotiations with Putin to end the conflict.
