8:36Now PlayingBen Jensen, senior fellow and director of the Futures Lab at the Center for Strategic and International Studies said Tomahawk cruise missiles could reach strategically important targets in Russia from Ukraine and would give the Ukrainians a powerful deterrent to further aggression.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged US President Donald Trump to use momentum from the Gaza ceasefire last week to bring an end to Russia’s invasion, part of a trip where he’s seeking Tomahawk missiles and security guarantees.
Answering questions from reporters with Trump at the White House on Friday, Zelenskiy said a bilateral security guarantee is “the most important thing.” He was in Washington a day after Trump agreed in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet in Hungary next week.
“President Trump has really showed for the world that he can manage ceasefire in the Middle East and that’s why I hope that he can do this and we can also have such big success,” Zelenskiy said.
While both leaders were cordial, the meeting Friday exposed a major fault line between them. Of his conversation with Putin about a possible peace deal, Trump said the Russian leader “wants to get it done.” Zelenskiy, meanwhile, said “we want peace — Putin doesn’t want” and made clear he wants advanced weapons and US support to push Russia to the negotiating table.
