"We expect that the momentum to curb terror and war that has worked in the Middle East will help end the Russian war against Ukraine. Putin is certainly no braver than Hamas or any other terrorist," Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

Zelensky ironically about the Kremlin."Only after they heard about the Tomahawks"

Zelensky also referred to a press briefing by Putin's advisor, Yuri Ushakov. Immediately after the Russian leader's conversation with Donald Trump, Ushakov recounted the discussion, pointing out that one of its elements was the possibility of transferring Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.

Putin, according to a Kremlin official, reportedly told Trump that the move would not only fail to change anything on the battlefield but would also weaken US-Russian relations and the peace process. The Ukrainian president was tinged with irony in his comment.

He added that a meeting with representatives of energy concerts is also planned."Now, when Russia is terrorizing our energy sector and carrying out daily attacks, we are working for Ukraine's resilience," Zelensky wrote.
