Overview

• Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, President Trump said he could warn Moscow that the U.S. will send Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine if Russia does not end the war, calling the missiles a “new step of aggression.”
• Zelenskyy said he held two calls with Trump in two days focused on air defense, protection of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and long‑range weapons, adding that any Tomahawks would be used only against military targets.
• Kyiv confirmed a Friday meeting in Washington and said a delegation led by Prime Minister Julia Swyrydenko, with Andriy Yermak and Rustem Umjerow, is traveling to discuss weapons, sanctions and energy support, with financing options under review.
• The Kremlin warned that potential Tomahawk deliveries would be highly escalatory and noted nuclear‑capable variants, while asserting that U.S. and NATO intelligence support to Ukraine is already evident.
• Recent reporting says U.S. intelligence has for months helped Ukraine plan strikes on Russian energy facilities, providing data on target vulnerabilities and advising on drone routes, altitude and timing to evade air defenses.
