The US is considering a request by Ukraine for long-range Tomahawk missiles, US Vice-President JD Vance has said. To protect its skies from ballistic missiles, Kyiv has asked its Western partners for at least 10 units of Patriot surface-to-air defence systems which can detect and intercept oncoming missiles. Havryliuk also believes they would be a way for Ukraine to stop Russian drones before they reach EU countries. While some of the weapons bought under the scheme have already arrived in Ukraine, Havryliuk said, the process is slower than before. On Monday Zelensky said Ukraine would continue to focus on domestically produced drones and missiles with long-range capabilities.
