Zelensky Criticizes U.S. Over Leaked Tomahawk Missile Request

Ukraine's President expresses frustration after confidential talks with the U.S. about acquiring long-range missiles are disclosed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine requested Tomahawk missiles from the U.S. as part of a strategy to counter Russian advances.
The leaked information about the missile request has caused tension, with Zelensky questioning the confidentiality of discussions with the U.S.
The Tomahawk missiles, with a range of 1,550 miles, would significantly extend Ukraine's military capabilities, potentially escalating the conflict with Russia.
The Kremlin interprets Ukraine's request for these missiles as a sign of nervousness over recent Russian gains on the battlefield.
U.S. officials reportedly consider the request unfeasible, citing concerns about depleting resources needed for other global commitments.
