President of the United States Donald Trump did not directly answer whether he would provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked him for. The video with the statement was published on the Telegram channel Clash Report .

"Zelensky wants Tomahawks, the US has a large stockpile of these missiles. Do you need these missiles in Argentina?" the White House chief decided to joke during a press conference at the White House.

The US president also noted Russia's"successes" in the war it launched against Ukraine.

"Vladimir Putin should have won that war in a week, and it's been going on for four years," Trump said.

According to the US president, the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse, while the Kremlin leader does not want to end the war in Ukraine.
