US President Donald Trump said that he may agree to transfer long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if russia refuses to end the war.
He said this during a conversation with journalists.
According to Trump, Ukraine has expressed a desire to receive such missiles, and he has already discussed this issue with official Kyiv. At the same time, the American leader suggested that he may have a conversation with russian president vladimir putin about the possible consequences of such a decision.
"Do they want the Tomahawks flying in their direction? I don't think so. I think I should talk to russia about it. I told Zelenskyy that the Tomahawks are a new step of aggression... Frankly, russia does not need it. But I can tell him that if the war does not end, we will do it. Maybe we will, maybe we will not," Trump noted.
