Zelensky Asks Trump for Tomahawk Missiles to Strike Moscow

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky requested U.S. President Donald Trump for long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles during a private meeting at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to British newspaper The Telegraph, citing diplomatic sources.

In his discussion with Trump, Zelensky stated that the Tomahawk missiles would help convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to come to the negotiating table to discuss a peace agreement.
