Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed annoyance that details of requests he made to the White House for more US long-range missiles were leaked to the media.
Reports about Ukraine requesting “a lot of missiles, like Tomahawks” appeared around the time he sought to persuade partners to support Ukraine’s ‘victory plan’, Zelenskiy said at a meeting with journalists from Nordic countries on Tuesday. A video of his comments was published on his Telegram channel.
