President Donald Trump has ruled out sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for now despite repeated requests from Kyiv for the long-range cruise missiles to strike Russian targets far across the border. Trump said on Sunday he was “not really” considering a deal to sell Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, but added he was open to changing his mind.

Russia said on Monday that its troops had advanced in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a transport and logistics hub that they have been trying to capture for over a year, but Ukraine said its forces were holding on.

Ukraine has received more American-made Patriot air defense systems to counter Russia's attacks, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
