Trump's surprise call with Putin dims Kyiv hopes for US Tomahawk missiles
The Guardian
|October 18, 2025
Vladimir Putin’s surprise phone call to Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to undercut Ukrainian hopes of receiving Tomahawk missiles as Volodymyr Zelenskyy headed to Washington to meet the US president and discuss the issue.
The Ukrainian president arrived for lunch at the White House with Trump yesterday. After strikingly voicing his frustrations with Putin in recent weeks and hinting that he was ready to supply Zelenskyy with Tomahawk missiles - a weapon long sought by Kyiv that would give it its longest-range strike capability yet and bring Moscow within reach - Trump on Thursday night appeared to row back.
“We need Tomahawks for the United States of America, too. We have a lot of them but we need them. I mean, we can’t deplete for our country,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I don’t know what we can do about that,” he added.
The Kremlin’s top aide, Yuri Ushakov, said Putin had initiated the conversation with Trump, during which the Russian leader urged his US counterpart not to supply Ukraine with the Tomahawks.
