Zelenskyy on Tomahawk: Trump didn’t say no, but he didn’t say yes either
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that during the meeting, US President Donald Trump did not say "no" to the possibility of providing Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range missiles, but at the same time did not say "yes."
According to Censor.NET, Zelenskyy said this in an interview with NBC News after meeting with Trump.
"It's good that President Trump didn't say 'no', but as of today, he hasn't said 'yes' either," Zelenskyy said.
As noted, Zelenskyy hopes that Trump will still provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles.
According to the president, the Ukrainian army, armed with Tomahawk missiles, is causing real concern for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
"I think Putin is afraid that the US will provide us with Tomahawks. And I think he is really afraid that we will use them," he said.
However, the publication notes that returning to Ukraine without an agreement on Tomahawk missiles "is likely to prompt Zelensky's critics to ask why he went to the US in the first place."
