Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Donald Trump at the White House shortly, with the Ukrainian president expected to ask for long-range Tomahawk missiles that can strike deep into Russian territory.
Trump has earlier signaled that he might be willing to give the long-range and lethal missiles to Ukraine, but after speaking to Vladimir Putin yesterday he said: “We need them too… so I don’t know what we can do about that.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Sunday warned that providing Ukraine with the weapons would be a “major escalation”.
Trump and Putin agreed to meet in Hungary during their phone call, with fresh talks between the leaders’ advisers planned for as early as next week.
