The US President is now reluctant to send Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine following his call with Vladimir Putin on Thursday evening.
It seems that Donald Trump is once again back peddling after Putin discussed Ukraine receiving Tomahawk missiles, the call last two and half hours and other matters were also discussed.
President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, “We need Tomahawks for the United States of America too. We have a lot of them but we need them. I mean, we can’t deplete for our country.”
“I don’t know what we can do about that,” he added.

Ushakov said, “Vladimir Putin reiterated his point that Tomahawks would not change the situation on the battlefield but would cause significant harm to relations between our countries, not to mention the prospects for peaceful settlement.”
On 15 October Trump said that he wants Ukraine to “go offensive” against Russia and said following his meeting with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky he will decide whether or not to provide the missiles.
