Zelenskyy holds out hope Trump will still provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy struck a hopeful tone while on a trip to the U.S. on Friday, even though he had not sealed an agreement with President Donald Trump on the delivery of long-range Tomahawk missiles — weapons that could be a game-changer in the war against Russia.“It’s good that President Trump didn’t say ‘no,’ but for today, didn’t say ‘yes,’” Zelenskyy told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in an exclusive interview, which will air on Sunday

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy struck a hopeful tone while on a trip to the U.S. on Friday, even though he had not sealed an agreement with President Donald Trump on the delivery of long-range Tomahawk missiles — weapons that could be a game-changer in the war against Russia.

“It’s good that President Trump didn’t say ‘no,’ but for today, didn’t say ‘yes,’” Zelenskyy told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in an exclusive interview, which will air on Sunday.

Zelenskyy’s appeal for Tomahawk missile comes as Russia has been hammering Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with drones and missiles in the past week, leading to blackouts across the country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently warned that supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would be a “qualitatively new stage of escalation.”

Zelenskyy told NBC News that a Ukrainian military equipped with Tomahawk missiles is a genuine concern for Putin.
