U.S. president Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would not supply Ukraine with missiles maneuvering Tomahawk. But he added that this could change in the future. Trump estimated that both sides of the conflict should be allowed to fight to yet bring peace.PAP

U.S. president Donald Trump stated aboard Air Force 1 that he was not considering handing over Ukraine's maneuvering missiles to Tomahawk. «No, not really» - he answered the question about the anticipation of specified transfer. However, he added: «This can change, but not at this point».
