In a stunning turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s latest plea for advanced missile systems was rejected by the Pentagon, leaving Kiev empty-handed in its bid to counter Russia’s ongoing military offensive.
Despite Zelensky’s urgent request for long-range missiles to boost Ukraine’s defenses, U.S. defense officials have opted to prioritize established international buyers over Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in Washington’s support strategy.
The denial comes as a major blow to Zelensky, who had banked on securing vital military aid to bolster his nation’s resistance against Russia.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has seized the moment to mock Zelensky’s failed attempt, casting doubt on Ukraine’s future prospects in the conflict and sending ripples across the geopolitical landscape.
