Ukrainian President Zelensky walks out of Washington empty handed post meeting with President Trump

Washington/Kyiv, Oct 18 (UNI) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left Washington on Friday night empty handed, as he was not able to secure a commitment from US President Donald Trump for supplying Kyiv with Tomahawk cruise missiles, amid Ukraine's bid for carrying out deep strikes into Russian territory via bolstering its own long range attack capabilities.
Speaking to reporters after their meeting at the White House, Zelensky said the two leaders had discussed the issue but agreed not to make public statements on it, noting that "the United States does not want an escalation."
Trump later reiterated that stance, saying he hoped the war could end "without thinking about Tomahawks."
