Overview

  • Trump told reporters he may authorize long-range Tomahawk missiles if the war is not resolved and said he could speak with Putin before deciding.
  • Zelensky said he and Trump are working on the request and pledged any missiles would be used only against military targets in Russia.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the prospect an extreme concern, and Dmitry Medvedev warned it could end badly while hinting at a nuclear response.
  • No approval has been announced, with U.S. and Ukrainian officials discussing delivery options, including reports of a possible NATO channel.
  • A Ukrainian delegation led by Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko will visit Washington ahead of a planned Trump–Zelensky meeting as Kyiv outlines its missile needs.
