Trump considers sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine

US President Donald Trump has indicated that he may send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine to enhance its ability to strike targets deep within Russia. This development comes after a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who sought stronger military support. The potential supply of Tomahawks has raised concerns in Moscow, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressing 'extreme concern' and warning of a major escalation in the conflict. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also reacted strongly, suggesting that the delivery of these missiles could have severe consequences. The move reflects a hardening of Trump's attitude towards Russia as he seeks a ceasefire deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged US President Donald Trump to broker peace in Ukraine during a phone call, referencing Trump's success in the Middle East. Zelensky informed Trump about Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy system and discussed bolstering air defense. The call comes after a major Russian airstrike caused blackouts across Ukraine. Relations between the two leaders have improved since a contentious meeting in February. Trump has maintained support for Ukraine, which has been fighting a Russian invasion since 2022.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described his recent talks with US President Donald Trump as 'very productive', discussing Ukraine's defense capabilities, energy sector, and the ongoing war with Russia. Zelenskyy expressed hope that Trump's success in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be replicated in Ukraine's conflict with Russia. Trump has shown support for Ukraine, allowing them to use US weapons to strike deep into Russia and considering providing Tomahawk cruise missiles.
