Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday said he has a “proposition” for President Donald Trump to exchange drone capabilities for American high-precision long-range Tomahawk missiles. “If you want to target a military goal, you need thousands of drones,” Zelenskyy said, pointing out that one single military capability will not win in a technology-driven war. “Ukraine has such thousands of…drones, but we don’t have Tomahawks.  That’s why we need Tomahawks,” Zelenskyy said. “The United States has Tomahawks and other missiles, very strong missiles, but they can have our thousands of drones.”TRUMP SAYS ‘TREMENDOUS BAD BLOOD’ BETWEEN ZELENSKYY, PUTIN DELAYING PEACE DEAL DESPITE MIDDLE EAST MOMENTUM Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meets with unseen US President Donald Trump in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on Oct. 17, 2025.  (Tom Brenner/AFP via Getty Images)”That’s where we can work together,” he added. When pressed by reporters on whether he would be “interested” in brokering a drone deal with Ukraine, Trump said, “Yeah, we would.””We have a lot of drones right now.
