Ukraine's request for Tomahawk missiles was "confidential information" between partners, President Volodymyr Zelensky complained on Oct. 30 after a leak in the U.S. media.

The New York Times reported on Oct. 29 that, according to undisclosed U.S. officials, the request for Tomahawk missiles with a range of 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) was part of the secretive "non-nuclear deterrence package" included in Ukraine's victory plan.

The sources told the outlet that Washington was unconvinced that Ukraine needed the weaponry and was reluctant to supply them due to their limited numbers.

"It was confidential information between Ukraine and the White House. How to understand these messages?" Zelensky said during a press briefing with journalists from Nordic countries.

"So this means (that) between partners, there is no (confidentiality)."

  2. America is a leaky rowboat. Ukraine (and Zelensky) deserve so much better in every way. This is why they didn’t say jack shite to us about Kursk.

  3. I might be huffing copium, but this could be an orchestrated gesture to Russia – just quietly putting Tomahawks on the table, where there were none just a minute before.

    Something similar happened with HIMARS – our official were complaining how we were obliterated by 60k russian arty shells per week and had no answer to that – and then BOOM, HIMARS was mincing meat two weeks later.

  4. So, we can barely keep the production going, an option comes along to secure it:

    “Gee, I dunno… I’mma have to think about it publicly…”

  5. This is where the politics really hits the road. Biden’s administration is slow rolling this show. There can be no doubt about that now. Seeing how Trump will now likely be the next prez, I hope it was all lies and Trump does decide to pressure Putin to pull out. We can hope.

  6. Like as if Russia’s gonna do shit about it, leak or not, Tomahawk’s gonna delete what it’s sent to delete
