Zelenskyy and Trump discuss potential Tomahawk missile supply for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range missiles.

The Gaze reports this, referring to Axios.

According to several informed sources, the conversation between the leaders lasted about 30 minutes and took place on Saturday. Zelenskyy described it as “very positive and productive.” 

During the conversation, the leaders discussed, in particular, the possibility of Ukraine obtaining Tomahawk long-range missiles, which would allow it to strike deep inside Russia, including Moscow. 

The Ukrainian side believes that the presence of such missiles could force the Kremlin to the negotiating table even without their actual use.

In addition, Zelenskyy informed Trump about Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and negotiated the possibility of strengthening the country's air defense. 

"We discussed opportunities to bolster our air defense, as well as concrete agreements that we are working on to ensure this," Zelenskyy wrote.

He stressed that diplomatic success is only possible if Russia demonstrates strength and readiness for real negotiations.

No final decision has been made yet on the supply of Tomahawks. 

Earlier, Trump said he wants to understand how Ukraine intends to use U.S.-made Tomahawk missiles before potentially supplying them through NATO countries.

As The Gaze informed earlier, U.S. Tomahawk cruise missiles, depending on the variant, can reach distances of 1,600 to 2,500 kilometers, enabling Kyiv to hit heavily fortified and high-value targets previously beyond reach.
