Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky expressed frustration on Wednesday with the fact that classified details of his ‘victory plan’ in the conflict with Russia were leaked to the Western press.
The New York Times reported this week that Kiev had asked the US for Tomahawk cruise missiles in order to strike targets deep inside Russia. The paper’s sources described the request as “totally unfeasible.” Provision of such weapons, which have a range of up to 2,400 km, was described as being necessary to constitute part of the conventional deterrence forces requested by Zelensky.
Speaking to Western journalists in Kiev, Zelensky complained that the request for Tomahawks had become public knowledge.
