Tomahawk missile request leak shows Western hesitation in support, says Ukrainian President

If secret details of the Victory Plan become public, it can be interpreted as a sign that the Western partners are not genuinely interested in providing the requested assistance.

Zelenskyy expressed his frustration with the leak to the media, but clarified that Ukraine had not revealed all the details of the Victory Plan to its partners.

Recent media reports suggested that Zelenskyy had asked Washington to provide Tomahawks as part of the Victory Plan presented to Ukraine’s Western allies. Subsequent reports indicate that this idea has not gained widespread support in Washington.

While the United States does export Tomahawk missiles with a range of 1,600 kilometers to other countries, they are supplied to an extremely limited list of close U.S. allies. The most recent country to be allowed to purchase these expensive missiles is Japan.
