Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Donald Trump at the White House today to request long-range missiles for Ukraine. Trump has recently hinted he may consider supplying Tomahawk missiles, which can strike deep inside Russia. The move, if approved, would mark a major shift in US policy. The Kremlin warned that such action would be seen as a “major escalation.” The meeting follows Trump’s phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he described as showing “great progress.” Both leaders are expected to meet face-to-face soon in Hungary to discuss ending the war.
