Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Monday he'll visit Washington this week for talks on long-range weapons provision, potentially meeting President Trump as early as Friday. The visit follows Trump's Sunday warning to Russia about possibly sending Ukraine Tomahawk missiles if Moscow doesn't settle the war soon. Zelenskyy will discuss air defense, long-range capabilities, and protecting Ukraine's electricity and gas networks from relentless Russian bombardment. Moscow expressed "extreme concern" over potential Tomahawk provision. The meeting comes as Russia intensifies infrastructure attacks ahead of winter. EU's Kaja Kallas pledged continued Moscow pressure despite Hungary's objections to new sanctions, emphasizing Ukraine's enormous funding needs. (PC: X)
