Ukraine's leadership is clearly nervous about the Russian offensive on the front lines, as Kiev has asked the United States to supply it with long-range Tomahawk missiles. This was stated by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by "Reuters".
Earlier the "New York Times" reported that President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested from the United States "Tomahawk" missiles that have a range of 2,500 km - far greater than that of any missile Ukraine currently has in its arsenal.
Zelensky himself indirectly confirmed in a video released yesterday that Kiev made such a request.
Peskov pointed out that the trend is clear on the front line of the war, where Russia has advanced in the past three months at its fastest pace in two years.
"Against this dynamic, the regime in Kyiv is beginning to show considerable nervousness," he noted.
"The New York Times" specified that Zelensky had asked the US to provide the "Tomahawk" missiles; as part of the "victory plan" he unveiled earlier this month, but parts of which he said at the time were classified.
Peskov said that Ukraine's plans, whether secret or not, "come down to Kiev fully involving Western countries in the war as quickly as possible and legitimizing it. All these tricks have this end goal".
