Rutte, when asked if he thought the US would provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, said that individual allies of Ukraine should decide what weapons they want to supply.

"This issue remains under consideration by the president, and, of course, it depends on the US," he concludes.
Recall
On October 17, a bilateral meeting in the format of an official dinner took place at the White House with the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
One of the key topics of the conversation between Trump and Zelenskyy will be the issue of the possible provision of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
President Zelenskyy stated in an interview with NBC news that Donald Trump did not refuse to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This gives hope for obtaining weapons that could change the course of the war.
According to Donald Trump, the US cannot give all its weapons to Ukraine, as this threatens the country's interests. He noted that the US itself needs the Tomahawks that Ukraine is asking for.
US Vice President J.D. Vance reported that the Trump administration will continue to work for peace in Ukraine for as long as it takes. He also noted that Trump has not yet made a final decision on providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
