Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said fresh “firepower” for Ukraine is imminent as NATO members step up support, including joint purchases of U.S. weapons, amid speculation Washington could provide long-range Tomahawk missiles. The Kremlin warned such arms would mark a new escalation. President Donald Trump, who meets Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, has called Tomahawks a possible “new step of aggression” yet suggested he could send them if the war drags on. Since returning to the White House, Trump has approved no major new Ukraine arms packages, even as his stance has shifted and Russia still holds about one-fifth of Ukraine.
