The Ukrainian leader has declined to reveal whether Kiev would receive American long-range missiles
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has declined to comment on whether the US would send Tomahawk long-range missiles to Kiev, following a meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
Zelensky has claimed that he is intentionally reluctant to speak on the matter because the US“does not want escalation.”
Zelensky made the remarks on Friday following the negotiations in the White House, which revolved, among other things, around potential deliveries of the missiles that have a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) and make Kiev capable of striking Moscow and cities beyond.
He refrained from giving any clues about whether any deal has been reached.“We spoke about long-range, of course. I don’t want to make statements about it. We decided that we won’t speak about it… because the United States does not want escalation,”he told reporters, following his departure from the White House.
