President Donald Trump, just days after celebrating an Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement he helped broker in the Middle East, turns his attention Friday to the Russia-Ukraine war, hosting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House.

Ukraine's request for American-made Tomahawk missiles is expected to be a focus of the talks.

"They want to go offensive," Trump said of Kyiv earlier this week. "I'll make a determination on that."

The long-range weapons would give Ukraine the ability to strike deep inside Russia, and Zelenskyy described them as a difference-maker in a conflict that has dragged three-and-a-half years. Moscow, though, warned that Tomahawk deliveries would mark "a dangerous escalation of relations between Russia and the United States."
