Il presidente Trump ha detto al presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky di essere stato aperto a sollevare restrizioni sull’uso da parte dell’Ucraina di armi a lungo raggio di fabbricazione americana per colpire in Russia, ma non si è impegnato a farlo durante una riunione martedì, secondo un alto funzionario americano e un funzionario ucraino.
….
Alla loro riunione di New York, Zelensky ha chiesto a Trump missili da crociera Tomahawk, hanno detto i funzionari, che ha una serie di circa 900 a 1.500 miglia, una richiesta che il presidente ucraino ha rivelato in un’intervista con Axios pubblicata venerdì. L’amministrazione sta prendendo in considerazione Tomahawks e altre armi a lungo raggio per l’Ucraina, secondo il funzionario senior degli Stati Uniti e un alto funzionario europeo informato sui piani.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
**Extended excerpt:**
>President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky he was open to lifting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of American-made long-range weapons to strike inside Russia, but he didn’t commit to doing so during a meeting Tuesday, according to a senior U.S. official and a Ukrainian official.
>During the sideline discussion at the United Nations, Zelensky asked Trump for more long-range missiles and approval to use such weapons to strike targets on sovereign Russian territory. Trump replied that he didn’t oppose the idea, though both officials said the president didn’t make any commitments to reverse a U.S. ban on such attacks.
>If Trump’s comments signal a policy change, it could allow Ukraine to strike more targets deeper inside Russia.
>For months, [the administration has blocked Ukraine](https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-has-quietly-blocked-ukraines-long-range-missile-strikes-on-russia-432a12e1?mod=article_inline) from using U.S.-provided long-range missiles, including the Army Tactical Missile Systems, known as Atacms, to bomb Russia, leading to complaints from Kyiv that it couldn’t effectively punch back against Moscow.
>At their New York meeting, Zelensky asked Trump for Tomahawk cruise missiles, the officials said, which has a range of about 900 to 1,500 miles, a request the Ukrainian president revealed in an interview with Axios published Friday. The administration is considering Tomahawks and other long-range weapons for Ukraine, according to the senior U.S. official and a senior European official briefed on the plans.
>Ukrainian officials are traveling next week to Washington for talks with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to the senior U.S. official and senior European official. Hegseth and the Pentagon undersecretary for policy, Elbridge Colby, oversee approval requests from Kyiv for using U.S. weapons against Russian territory. They have blocked Ukraine from firing Atacms since spring.
>The White House and Pentagon didn’t return a request for comment.

>After meeting Trump in New York, Zelensky in a press conference praised Trump’s “decisiveness to help end this war” and called the U.S. president a “game-changer.”
>Senior European officials have welcomed Trump’s rhetorical shift and said it justified their previous warnings to Trump that Putin was never serious about peace and only playing for time in his dealings with the president as the war ground on.
>“The president’s words carry weight, and it was widely received very positively by all the Europeans,” European Union foreign-policy chief Kaja Kallas said in an interview.
>…..
>“We see clearly that putting pressure on Russia together by helping Ukraine, could bring the end to this war,” said Kallas. “And as President Trump has said that he wants this killing to stop, then we should use the tools that are in our hands to make the killing stop.”

No. He’s not.
Just as long as somebody else pays for them.
The current Administration’s morality is based solely upon the profit margin.
Regardless what is being said, no, they’re not actually considering it
No they won’t
I’m just sitting here impatiently waiting for the Flamingos to fly.
I don’t expect anything from Trump. I don’t even think he knows what he thinks or where he’s at.
How the heck do you fire a tomahawk anyway? Doesn’t that require classified targeting and acquisition? I understand that’s also the case with Himars. Means more Americans on the ground in Ukraine?
I feel like a lot of people are hoping Trump does a 180 to gloat and name call, instead of hoping he gives Ukraine what it needs and wants.
Factoring in Trump I’d put likelihood of this somewhere between 0% and 1%.
Like don’t get it twisted this would be awesome. But, again, Trump fucking sucks
Please Trump don’t embarrass us for once in your miserable life
Lock. And. Load.
About time. Ukraine gave up Nuclear and long range strategic weapons on the promise that their territorial integrity would remain intact. We are just helping fulfill the treaty that Russia is blatantly violating.
There’s nearly a non-zero chance that Trump will actually give missiles with that large of a range to Ukraine. I will be completely shocked if they actually make it to Ukraine
Weasel words. “Consider”.
The usual TACO from Pedo McTACO.
Long range missiles – yes, give Ukraine everything that you can.
Ukraine could paint the tip pink and call them Flamingos, no need to be absolutely honest about what they are or who supplied them.
Multiple hits on the tank factories, weapons and ammunition manufacturers, especially Sukhoi and MIG fighter jet and military helicopter factories and facilities would set back Russians plans to attack Europe by decades.
