What Trump said about Tomahawks and Russian assets

According to the US president, he is not yet ready to authorize the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, despite the Pentagon’s readiness to do so.

"No, not really. Could happen. I could change, but at this moment I'm not," Trump said.

He also stated that the US is not engaged in any negotiations or consultations with European partners about transferring frozen Russian funds to Ukraine.
