Trump hopes to end the war in Ukraine without delivering a missile to Kiev
Putin has warned the US president that supplying such missiles to Ukraine would be seen as an escalation against Russia.
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated during a meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski that he hopes to end the war between Ukraine and Russia without having to send Tomahawk missiles to Kiev.
The president has assured us that one of the reasons the US wants the Tomahawks to end the war in Ukraine is to stop "supplying large quantities of weapons" to Kiev.
Zelenski has replied that the war against Russia is also a "technological war" and that, although Ukraine uses drones made by itself, Tomahawk has no missiles and needs them to continue fighting.
Asked if the US would authorize air strikes inside Russia, Trump has said that would be an escalation, but has not ruled out that possibility in the future.
Trump has in recent days put on the table the possibility of supplying Ukraine with US-produced missiles as a strategy to pressure Russia after the Kremlin refused to stop the fighting.
Zelensky has been received by Trump the day after his telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom they agreed to meet shortly in Budapest to seek an end to the war, which will be the second summit between the two after their meeting in Alaska in August.
In yesterday's call, Putin warned Trump that sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would be regarded by Russia as an escalation against him.
