Many Ukrainians expressed disappointment after the meeting of the Presidents of the United States and Ukraine Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky, which did not bring the expected decision on the supply of Tomahawk missiles, writes The Associated Press.
The fact that Trump did not give an unequivocal answer to his about these long-range cruise missiles at a meeting at the White House, Zelensky said in an interview with NBC News on October 18.
This result alarmed, but did not surprise Ukrainians, according to the AP material.
Tomahawk missiles have a range of up to 2.5 thousand km. The Ukrainian president raised the issue of their supply to Kiev in September. At the same time, he warned that representatives of the Russian authorities should know where the bomb shelters are located, as they may need them. Zelensky noted that upon receipt of the Tomahawks, Ukraine would strike at military targets and energy facilities in Russia.
Trump previously admitted that Kiev would receive "Tomahawks" if there was no progress on a peaceful settlement. Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a conversation with him, indicated that these missiles would not change the situation on the battlefield, but would damage the prospects for a peaceful settlement and relations between Russia and the United States.
