Trump-Putin call overshadows Zelensky’s plea for missiles

Zelensky’s long-awaited meeting with Trump was thrown off course after the U.S. president held a call with Putin, agreeing to meet him soon in Hungary.

Kyiv had hoped to gain permission to buy Tomahawk missiles, but the phone conversation — reportedly initiated by Moscow — shifted focus.

Trump has previously wavered between frustration and admiration toward Putin, raising fears that U.S. military support could stall once again.
