Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Washington on Thursday and hold talks with US President Donald Trump on Friday, with discussions expected to center on the possible delivery of long-range American Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv, a senior Ukrainian official said.

Zelensky will arrive in the US capital to meet defense industry representatives, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The official added that the goal of the talks is to determine “when the deliveries could realistically begin”. (AFP)
