U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington on Friday. The discussions will focus on strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, including considerations for supplying Tomahawk missiles to aid in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy has expressed optimism, citing a recent peace deal in Gaza as a potential catalyst for broader peace efforts. As senior Ukrainian officials gather in D.C. for these talks, Zelenskyy is hopeful that the meeting will yield concrete agreements and reinforces his commitment to use any military support, such as Tomahawks, solely against Russian military targets.
