Ukraine is set to receive Tomahawk

Journalists point out that Stefanishina's optimistic statements came after the US president announced that he was not currently considering providing Tomahawk to Ukraine.

According to the ambassador, discussions are still ongoing, but many delegations are simultaneously actively working to increase available financial resources “to acquire greater military capabilities in the United States.

It's not just the Tomahawk, but also various types of other long-range and short-range missiles, and I can only say that it's quite positive.

Journalists also asked her to comment on the almost daily Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in recent weeks.

"This is undoubtedly a very difficult period for Ukraine," she admitted.

Stefanishyna officially confirmed that President Zelenskyy's team is doing everything possible to significantly strengthen Ukraine's air defense.

The ambassador also warned world leaders: any reluctance to put pressure on an aggressor country will be perceived as "something that gives them (the Russians — ed.) the green light to build up their capabilities."
