"Will change the rules of the game". Zelenskyy talks about Tomahawk and plans to meet with Trump

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes that his meeting with his American counterpart Donald Trump in the White House will lead to clear decisions on the part of the United States as to what weapons systems they are ready to provide to Ukraine. This was announced by the head of the Office of the president Andriy Yermak in an interview with American media outlet Axios.

The key issue that Zelenskyy wants to discuss with Trump is expanding the list of weapons systems that Washington will agree to sell to Kyiv – and at the top of Ukraine's wish list are long-range Tomahawk missiles, the resource reports.

According to Yermak, Kyiv is still waiting for a decision on such missiles and believes that "such kind of weapons can be game changer."

The head of the OP emphasized that Ukraine needs Tomahawks to destroy drone and missile production plants deep in Russia's territory.

However, the official also said that Ukraine wants to get several other weapons systems that require Washington's approval.

"We need a US political decision that we will be able to buy any weapons which we need without any restrictions," Yermak explained.

• On October 14, Trump announced that during a meeting at the White House on July 17, he would talk with president Zelenskyy, in particular, about the transfer of Tomahawk to Ukraine. This has been repeatedly opposed by the Kremlin, including Putin himself. The Ukrainian leader noted the fact that Moscow is afraid of supplying such weapons shows that such pressure can help end the war.
• On October 16, after a call between Trump and Putin, Zelenskyy linked Russia's return to negotiations with discussing of the transfer of Tomahawks to Ukraine.
• Meanwhile, the US president said that, during the conversation, the Russian dictator did not like the idea of transferring Tomahawks to Ukraine. At the same time, Trump said that America also needs these missiles.
