DEVELOPING: Zelensky to Escalate Missile Case in US After Explosive Trump-Putin Phone Call

BREAKING NEWS: Zelensky to Escalate Missile Case in US After Trump-Putin Phone Call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday, amid escalating tensions over Ukraine's request for Tomahawk missiles. The meeting comes a day after Trump said "great progress" was made during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has called on the US to provide Ukraine with advanced Tomahawk missiles, which have a range of 2,500 km (1,500 miles). This move is seen as a significant escalation in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump's comments about the possibility of providing Ukraine with Tomahawks were met with skepticism by Zelensky, who said Moscow was "rushing to resume dialogue" only when it hears about the missiles. The meeting between Zelensky and Trump is expected to focus on the missile request, as well as potential US support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The phone call between Trump and Putin has raised concerns that the US may be softening its stance on Russia's aggression towards Ukraine. This is a developing story.
