US President Donald Trump did not give a definitive answer to his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky regarding long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles during their meeting at the White House.

This was reported by the Ukrainian leader in a conversation with NBC News.

"It's good that President Trump didn't say 'no,' but as of today, he hasn't said 'yes' either," Zelensky stated.

He added that, in his opinion, Russia fears the transfer of Tomahawks to Ukraine and that Ukraine might decide to use them.

The transfer of these missiles to Kyiv was one of the key topics of the meeting. Immediately after the negotiations, Zelensky said that the parties agreed to "publicly" not talk about long-range missiles for now, as "the US does not want escalation." Additionally, the Ukrainian leader proposed cooperation in the field of drones with Ukraine in exchange for Tomahawks. As Zelensky later noted, Washington would still be able to receive drones from Kyiv.

Trump, speaking at the beginning of the meeting about supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine, noted that the US itself needs Tomahawks, as well as many other types of weapons that they send to Kyiv. He also expressed hope that military operations could be concluded "without even thinking about using Tomahawks.

After the conversation with Zelensky, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the parties to the conflict "should stop where they are." "Let both claim victory, let history be the judge!" Trump noted. Zelensky agreed with his thesis that they need to "stop."
