"When asked what Trump could do to help Ukraine win the war, Zelensky told Ravid, I think President Trump knows. I said to him yesterday what we need, one thing. Zelensky added, By the way, we need it, but it doesn't mean that we will use it. Because if we will have it, I think it's additional pressure on Putin to sit and speak. Zelensky said Trump told him we will work on it, when he made the request."
"The Telegraph reported Friday that Zelensky specifically asked Trump for Tomahawk missiles, which are long-range and precision-guided. In an interview after the meeting, Mr. Zelensky said Mr. Trump was amenable to his appeal for the long-range cruise missile, that would put Moscow in range of Kyiv's strikes, The Telegraph reported. Ukraine has asked the U.S. for Tomahawks several times over the past year, but Trump has declined to sell the powerful weapons to NATO countries on Ukraine's behalf, an anonymous source told Axios."
Volodymyr Zelensky met privately with U.S. President Donald Trump at the United Nations to request Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles that could reach Moscow and pressure Vladimir Putin into peace talks. Zelensky argued that mere possession of such weapons could compel negotiations even if Ukraine chose not to use them. Trump reportedly responded that they would "work on it." The Tomahawk, manufactured by RTX, can fly up to 1,000 miles, far exceeding the roughly 190-mile range of U.S.-made ATACMS. U.S. officials have previously declined to sell Tomahawks to NATO countries on Ukraine's behalf.
