They said that Ukraine wants or wanted a lot of missiles, like Tomahawk, etc. But it was confidential information between Ukraine and the White House. How to understand these messages?
So, it means, between partners, there are no confidential things," he stated. Zelenskyy further explained that he had asked international partners for a package of long-range weapons - as one of the points of his Victory Plan - with the understanding that Ukraine would only use them if Russia continued its aggression and did not halt further escalation. Quote: "I said this is a preventive method.
They said to me: 'This is escalation'," he added.
