US President Donald Trump has expressed openness to supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles, but the discussions are still in their infancy. This comes after a meeting between the US and Ukrainian leaders at the White House on Friday, which did not yield any concrete results.
Zelensky's visit to Washington came just hours after Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two leaders agreed to meet in person soon, but no date has been set for their talks in Budapest.
The issue of providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine has long been a contentious one, with both sides weighing the pros and cons. Zelensky believes that these weapons would be devastating to Russia's war economy if used against its energy facilities, while Trump views them as essential for US defense.
During his visit to Washington, Zelensky expressed optimism about the prospects of ending the conflict in Ukraine through diplomacy. However, when asked outside the White House whether he thought Putin wanted a deal or was just buying time until their planned summit meeting, he replied that he didn't know.
In a surprising turn of events, Trump suggested that the Ukrainian leader might be open to his suggestion that both sides stop fighting along their current front line. Zelensky echoed this sentiment, saying "We have to stop where we are, he is right, the president is right."

. on one hand, he wants to give zelenky tomahawk missiles which would be super powerful against russia's energy facilities. that sounds like a great idea for ukraine and even for global security 
. but at the same time, it seems like trump is trying to negotiate with putin too 
. i get why he wants to defend us, but is this really what we need? 
on the other hand, zelenky seems pretty open to the idea of stopping fighting and just moving forward 
. maybe this summit meeting will actually happen and they'll find a way to end the conflict without all the drama 
. fingers crossed for peace 
. On one hand, giving Ukraine those Tomahawk missiles could be a game-changer in terms of taking out Russia's energy facilities and dealing some serious blow to their economy 
. But at the same time, that’s a pretty big escalation and it feels like we’re walking into an even more volatile situation 
.
. And Trump actually bringing up the idea of both sides stopping fighting along their front line? That’s like, low-key genius 
. Maybe there’s hope for us yet 
but seriously tho, i dont think zelensky should have said that directly 'cause its not like trump just asked him to stop fighting or something. maybe he didnt realize it was a suggestion? idk... and btw what's up with trumps phone call with putin? did they actually discuss anything other than 'maybe we can be friends someday'?
