Ukraine's "Victory Plan" Revealed to Putin? After ATACMS, Furious Zelensky Eyes Tomahawk Missiles Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy strongly suggested in a video released on October 30 that Kyiv has requested supplies of long-range U.S. Tomahawk missiles, as he made critical remarks about "confidential" information he said had been leaked.Tomahawk missiles have a range of 2,500 km, far greater than any missile Ukraine currently has in its arsenal. Such a weapons delivery would almost certainly be seen by Russia as an escalation in its war in Ukraine.Zelenskiy travelled to the United States last month to pitch a "victory plan" to President Joe Biden, which he said could help pressure Moscow to negotiate an end to the war in good faith.Some of the plan's details have been kept confidential, something Zelenskiy alluded to in remarks in English to Nordic journalists."When a lot of countries began to support the victory plan, you see what's going on now in media – they said that Ukraine wanted a lot of missiles, like Tomahawks etc. But it was confidential information – between Ukraine and the White House. How to understand these messages?"Zelenskiy added: "So it means between partners – there are no any confidential things."Ukraine has received only 10% of U.S. military aid approved by Congress earlier this year, President Zelenskiy said.Russia, which sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine Ukraine in February 2022, has accelerated its advances in the east and Kyiv's military is outgunned and outmanned by its more powerful foe.A $61 billion aid package from the United States, stalled by Republicans in Congress from December last year, was approved in April.Zelenskiy added that the slow pace of weapons supplies was not a question of funding."It's always the question of bureaucracy or logistics, ideas or scepticism... This we will give you, this - will not," he said.
