Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested 2,400 km-range Tomahawk missiles from the United States as part of a secret clause in his 'Victory Plan,' according to reports by The New York Times. The proposed nonnuclear deterrence package includes Tomahawk missiles with a range of 2,400 kilometers. However, senior U.S. officials have deemed this request unrealistic and unfeasible. Zelensky emphasized that the missiles are necessary to either force Russia into diplomacy or dismantle its war machine. The revelation of this request has led to criticism from Zelensky, who expressed frustration over the leak of confidential information between Ukraine and the White House.
