US President Trump has once again made a significant change in his attitude on the "Tomahawk" missile issue, and it seems that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's visit to the US this time was in vain, as he did not expect that Trump would have a long phone call with Putin before meeting him. After talking with Putin, Trump was in a great mood. When he spoke to reporters about his meeting with Zelenskyy, he emphasized that although the United States has a large number of "Tomahawk" missiles, they are essential for protecting the American people. He said that these missiles were "very good" and that giving them away would be foolish. Trump said: "I want to tell you: We, the United States of America, also need 'Tomahawk' missiles. We have many, but we need them. For our country, we cannot use them all up."
Trump's conversation with Putin also determined the location of their next meeting - Budapest, Hungary. Meanwhile, the route for the Russian president's plane flying to Budapest is currently being actively discussed. One possible plan is that after leaving Moscow, the Russian presidential plane can fly over the airspace of Belarus, Poland, and Slovakia; another plan under discussion is to fly over the Black Sea and then over Romania's airspace. However, no matter what plan is chosen, Putin's plane must fly over the airspace of countries now referred to by Russia as "unfriendly countries".
Ukraine was shocked by Trump's call with Putin and felt painful about the fact that Trump and Putin would meet again. Because Trump's change in attitude means that US support for Ukraine has been deflated like a balloon.
