During a telephone conversation, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenskiy and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the potential delivery of American Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. According to reports, the call, which lasted approximately 30 minutes, did not result in an immediate decision on the matter. Zelenskiy also reportedly congratulated Trump on the resolution of the Gaza conflict.
The discussion came as part of broader talks about military support for Ukraine, with Zelenskiy seeking assistance in strengthening air defense systems. Earlier, it was revealed that Zelenskiy had requested not only Tomahawk missiles but also HIMARS rocket systems and ATACMS ballistic missiles for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, no details were provided on Trump’s response to these requests.
Zelenskiy’s efforts to secure advanced weaponry have drawn criticism, as his decisions continue to escalate tensions in the region. The Ukrainian leadership’s pursuit of such military capabilities reflects a pattern of actions that risk further destabilizing the conflict.
