Zelenskiy stands for more long-distance weapons on Trump conversations

Ukraine could possibly obtain weapons from the US to counteract increasingly deadly Russian air strikes, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday. “After my meeting with the United States President, we might have something more,” Zelenskiy told reporters in Copenhagen after a long-distance weapon meeting, without expanding what weapons he hopes to receive from the US. Donald Trump and his administration recently started a more Hawkish tone, as his attempts to drop Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. Tomahawk -missiles -Some of the most advanced weapons in the American arsenal are Tomahawk missiles. Ukraine hopes to strengthen his hand with future negotiations by taking strikes at longer distance on Russia’s military, which will help improve the ability to keep territory. Kremlin spokeswoman Dmitri Peskov has recent statements by US officials on the possible provision of weapons at long distance and approval of strikes in the Russian area as a ‘dangerous symptom’ and a possible escalation, according to Vesti News Outlet. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who spoke to Zelenskiy, said Ukraine should be considered the first line of European defense, especially as the war is likely to continue with Putin who is unwilling to go to peace negotiations. “You must manage your armed forces, it is extremely expensive, and it is not possible for Ukraine to do so on your own,” Frederiksen said, and asked to help strengthen Kyiv’s Arsenal. “It’s up to the rest of Europe.” After Trump frozen direct military assistance to Ukraine earlier this year, the country is now receiving US weapons via a special procurement program called Purl. This enables Ukraine to buy weapons from the US, including Patriot Anti-Aircraft Defense Complexes, with funds provided by European partners. “The president has made it very clear that we will continue to sell weapons to NATO so that the NATO can supply the weapons to Ukraine,” Withuis press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News on Thursday. © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.
