Zelensky said he had "sharp dialogue" with Trump, US media said Trump refused to provide Tomahawk missiles

Ukrainian President Zelensky said after talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Oct. 17, that the two sides had had "a sharp dialogue" and that the Ukrainian side hoped the United States would put pressure on Russia to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. U.S. media that the White House talks were "atmospherically tense" and Trump refused to provide Ukraine with "Tax" cruise missiles that could cover the Russian capital Moscow.

Zelensky wrote on social media: "The sharp conversation with US President Trump for more than two hours really helped push the war to an end. We discussed all key issues-including battlefield posture, long-range strike capabilities and air defense deployments, and of course diplomatic prospects... We are looking to the United States to put pressure on Russia."

Zelensky said in another post that he spoke with European Commission President Von der Leyen, European Council President Costa, NATO Secretary-General Luther, and European leaders such as Britain, Germany, Italy, Finland, Norway, and Poland, informing the details of the meeting with Trump. Their national security advisors will consult on follow-up steps and coordinate their positions.

The U.S. news site, Axion News, quoted two informed sources as reporting that the U.S. leader’s White House talks were “tensile atmosphere.”Trump told Zelensky that he “did not intend to supply long-range ‘Taxic’ cruise missiles, at least now.”

The report said that Zelensky originally hoped to leave Washington with the US promise to provide Tomahawk cruise missiles, but found that Trump "held a completely different position" and the background was Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin the day before. Long phone call.

CNN quoted multiple people familiar with the matter as saying that the talks between Trump and Zelensky were "tense, frank, and sometimes even 'uncomfortable.'" The two sides disagreed on the future of the conflict in Ukraine, and Trump told Zelensky "directly and frankly" that Ukraine would not currently receive the long-range missiles it urgently needed enough to hit the heart of Russia.

Earlier that day, Zelensky visited the White House for the third time this year for talks with Trump.After the talks, Trump posted on social media that he “strongly suggested” that an agreement be reached between Uzbekistan and Uzbekistan “should stop on the ground” and “declared victory.”When Zelensky left the White House, asked whether he was more optimistic about obtaining a “Tax” cruise missile for Ukraine, he replied, “I’m realistic” about whether it would be a “sensitive” and “difficult” issue to make concessions on territorial issues.
