Donald Trump has threatened to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Vladimir Putin blocks a peace deal.
Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with the US president in Washington, DC on Friday, following two phone conversations this weekend in which they discussed the long-range missiles.
Provision of Tomahawks, which would theoretically allow Ukraine to strike Moscow and much of western Russia, would mark a major step-up in American support and a hardening of Mr Trump’s stance against Putin.
