Zelenskyy holds out hope Trump will still provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles

Zelenskyy seeks long-range Tomahawk missiles from Trump as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, causing widespread blackouts, officials said.

  • On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy struck a hopeful tone during a U.S. visit despite not sealing a Tomahawk missile deal, pressing for long-range deliveries from President Donald Trump.
  • Russia's recent attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure with drones and missiles in the past week caused blackouts, increasing Kyiv's urgency for Tomahawk missiles despite Putin's warning of escalation.
  • Speaking of diplomacy, Trump called his Thursday phone conversation with Vladimir Putin very productive and said he will meet Putin in Budapest.
  • At a Friday press gathering, Donald Trump, U.S. President, said he could not pressure Vladimir Putin, Russian President, into a ceasefire, and 'tremendous bad blood' with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President, hampers progress.
  • Trump's recent Middle East diplomacy has made him more bullish, as his success with the Israel-Hamas ceasefire appears to have boosted optimism on Ukraine and Tomahawk missiles.
