"Zelenskyy is seeking long-range weapons that could strike targets deep inside Russia and assistance from the president to secure a ceasefire deal that would benefit Ukraine. In addition, Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday and said they will meet in Hungary to discuss an end to the war. Here's what to expect from Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy."
"Trump seemed to be warming up to the idea of supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles, which can travel thousands of miles, until his phone call with Putin, NPR's Joanna Kakissis tells Up First. Putin has warned that supplying these missiles to Ukraine would be a provocation. Ukraine has struck Russian oil industry targets over 50 times since August, which has strained Russia's fuel supply. As a result, Ukrainian military officials claim that Russia is losing momentum on the frontline."
"With Trump's upcoming meeting with Putin, Ukrainians are worried that Trump will again shift his attitude toward Ukraine. John Bolton, who served as national security adviser during Trump's first term, was indicted yesterday for mishandling classified information. The indictment charges Bolton with eight counts of transmitting national defense information and 10 counts of unlawfully retaining such information. Each count could carry a 10-year maximum prison sentence. Bolton became an outspoken critic of Trump after leaving his role."
