After failing to secure a promise from US President Donald Trump to provide powerful Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine last week, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appealed to European Union leaders to supply long-range missiles. "When we talk about long-range weapons for Ukraine, we mean that the Putin regime should feel real consequences from this war," he told the EU leaders' summit in Brussels on Thursday. "Just look at how nervous [Russian President Vladimir] Putin became when this topic came up. He understands that long-range weapons can truly change the course of the war," he continued. "I urge you to support everything that helps Ukraine get such capabilities — because it really makes a difference to Russia." Trump had initially signaled a willingness to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as he grew frustrated at Putin's apparent unwillingness to discuss a ceasefire, but appeared cooler on the idea when he met Zelenskyy in Washington last week. "These long-range weapons are not only in the US; some European countries also have them, including Tomahawks," said Zelenskyy on Thursday. "We are already talking to the countries that can help."
