Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed an unusual deal to Donald Trump: supplying thousands of drones to the United States in exchange for permission for Ukraine to use Tomahawk missiles.
The offer was revealed by Sky News during a conversation between the two leaders. Zelensky stated that the partnership could strengthen American production and highlighted the technological advances of Ukraine’s defense industry.
Trump expressed interest in the proposal, acknowledging the quality of drones produced in Ukraine and noting that the U.S. already purchases similar equipment from various manufacturers. However, he emphasized that Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory would represent an escalation of the conflict, though he said Washington would discuss the matter further.
During the meeting, a Ukrainian journalist suggested that Trump provide Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv, arguing that Russia has been using such weapons since 2022. The U.S. president responded with humor, saying the question was “fair” and joking that Zelensky had just made the same request to him.
