Details: Tykhyi said that Ukraine welcomes the positive signals coming from the United States and President Donald Trump regarding the possible provision of these powerful weapons.
"I would like to remind you that Ukraine raised the issue of receiving these missiles earlier – under the previous US administration. At that time, the answer was 'no'. This time, there has been no 'no'," the spokesperson emphasised.
Tykhyi said that there is now "a very detailed and active discussion about the possibility of providing these missiles".
Quote: "Currently, the Ukrainian and American teams are working together to coordinate all the details, discuss all the nuances – in what forms, in what configurations, and which of these missiles could be supplied to Ukraine. We are, of course, seeing various reactions from Russia on this topic, since we are talking about very powerful weapons."
Background:
- Recently, Trump, when asked about the possibility of supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, said that he had "sort of made a decision".
- The Kremlin said that it would wait for more concrete decisions from Washington regarding the possible delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
