Zelenskyy said the US supports Ukraine in using Tomahawk missiles to strike Russia, but in fact, the US has refused to sell them.

Axios reported, citing sources, that although Ukrainian President Zelenskyy assured US President Trump of his request for the US to provide "Tomahawk" cruise missiles to Ukraine for attacks on Russia, in fact, Trump did not agree to supply the "Tomahawk" missiles.

Ukraine originally planned to have its European NATO partners purchase "Tomahawk" missiles according to the "Ukraine Priority Requirements List" (PURL) plan, and then transfer the "Tomahawk" missiles to the Ukrainian army for further attacks on Russia. European NATO countries indeed added the "Tomahawk" missiles to their list of weapons they applied to purchase from the US, but US President Trump refused to sell the "Tomahawk". Trump was concerned that if the "Tomahawk" cruise missiles were provided to Ukraine, and the Ukrainian military used them to attack Russia, it would inevitably lead to an escalation of the conflict.
