Zelenskyy visited the White House yesterday but failed to obtain the long-range "Tomahawk" missiles that he sought during this trip to strike deep Russian targets. In an interview, he said he still hopes that Trump will eventually agree to provide such missiles. Trump did not completely rule out the possibility of providing "Tomahawk" missiles, but expressed concerns about the escalation of the conflict. More importantly, Trump seems to have been convinced again by Putin, believing that Putin truly wants to end the war. He called on Ukraine and Russia to reach a ceasefire agreement along the current front lines, while Zelenskyy said he was willing to consider this as a starting point for negotiations. After successfully pushing for a first-stage ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, Trump is now doubling his diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the Ukraine war, hoping that the upcoming summit in Budapest will be more effective than the previous meeting in Alaska. The United States is taking measures to strengthen its negotiating leverage with Russia, including holding more staff meetings before the summit; Ukraine and its European allies welcome the transfer of related matters from Vitek to Rubio. Ukrainians are now worried that the momentum they have accumulated over the past few weeks has been lost.
