【US media: Ukraine's peace formula - less dialogue, more weapons】 The New York Times published an article stating: "Ukraine's peace formula is - less dialogue, more weapons," which seems to be paving the way for Trump possibly providing "Tomahawk" missiles to Kyiv this Friday.
The report points out: "For months, although not expecting much success, Ukraine has been participating in negotiations with Russia, doing so to support Trump's efforts to seek a diplomatic solution. Now, as Trump becomes increasingly impatient with Moscow's refusal to compromise, Kyiv sees an opportunity to achieve its consistent goal - less negotiation, more weapons, including US 'Tomahawk' cruise missiles, and stronger sanctions to force Russia to seriously discuss ending the war."
This week, the Ukrainian delegation will begin negotiations in Washington on the procurement of air defense systems and long-range missiles, while Zelenskyy is preparing to visit the White House to solidify related agreements. The report states that unlike previous administrations, the Trump administration does not rule out the possibility of providing such weapons. Analysts believe this marks a shift in US policy - moving towards a more hardened approach.
The Ukrainian side is trying to demonstrate itself as a reliable partner, striving to communicate with Washington in "transactional language," pushing for weapon supply contracts and joint drone production projects. Kyiv is convinced that striking Russian targets - from oil infrastructure to military factories - will increase the cost of the war, thus forcing Moscow to make concessions.
Zelenskyy himself emphasized that the only real security comes from allies and weapons, because "peace is not maintained by law, but by power." Ukraine
