Ukraine is engaged in "positive" discussions with the U.S. over acquiring Tomahawk missiles and other long-range weaponry, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Olha Stefanishyna, told Bloomberg.
"The discussion is still ongoing but we have a lot of delegations working to scale up the available financial resources to procure more military capabilities from the U.S.," Stefanishyna said.
"It is not only Tomahawks but different types of other long-range and short-range missiles and I can only say that it's rather positive," she added.
Despite these talks, U.S. President Donald Trump said that, for now, he is not considering a deal that would allow Ukraine to obtain long-range Tomahawk missiles for use against Russia.
The outcome of these negotiations could shape Ukraine's defense strategy and its ability to access advanced military systems from key allies.
