I told that to Zelensky, because Tomahawks are a new step of aggression. You understand that very well.

And honestly, Russia does not need that. They don't need that. Yeah, I might tell them that if the war is not settled, that we may very well — we may not, but we may do it.

Trump on Tomahawks for Ukraine:

Well, I don't know. I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you about Tomahawks. Do they want to have tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so.
I think I might speak to Russia about that, in all fairness.

‼️To destroy the hundreds of Russian drones that attack Ukraine almost every night, Ukraine’s air defense uses every possible method. For example, Soviet, propeller-driven aircraft such as the Yak-52 are used - they are cheaper than the drones themselves.

Russian propagandists want Ukraine and Europe to pay reparations to Russia.

"And what reparations could Ukraine pay? Belgium will pay. France will pay. The Netherlands, too."

"Well, we’ll go after Belgium, France. We know perfectly well how this will end."

"We’ll pursue it at a military tribunal"

Russia has once again started talking about "negotiations" it is supposedly ready for, while "bad" Europe and Ukraine are allegedly the ones disrupting them.

What does this mean?
After Minsk, Istanbul, and Alaska, it has become clear to everyone that Russia is simply stalling for time
