As Russia rebuffs President Trump’s diplomatic push, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine plans to head again to the White House, this time seeking missiles.

Olha Stefanishyna was appointed Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. on Aug. 27, 2025 — and has hardly had a moment of rest since. In the few weeks that passed, she moved to the U.S., helped prepare the meeting between Ukrainian and U.

United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said “firepower” is coming to Ukraine through European nations’ purchases of US weapons, but whether that includes American-made Tomahawk missiles is still not clear.

Interceptor drones, once a far-fetched experiment, are now a cornerstone of Ukraine's air defense, downing Russian Shaheds. NATO is watching closely.

Ukraine could receive a newly developed land-based launcher to strike Moscow and beyond. President Trump has hinted that he may send Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, which would give President Volodymyr Zelensky the ability to attack Moscow with precise munitions capable of great destruction.
