During a recent meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump did not outright reject the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles, a weapon Kyiv has long sought to bolster its defense against Russian aggression. While Trump did not commit to the request, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed cautious optimism, noting that Trump did not say "no," leaving room for potential future support. Zelensky emphasized that Russia is "afraid" of the Tomahawk missiles, which have a range of over 1,600 kilometers and are known for their precision and effectiveness. The discussion reflects ongoing deliberations within the U.S. administration about the strategic implications of providing such advanced weaponry to Ukraine.
