Reports of Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelenski's proposal to support the nomination of US president Donald Trump to the Nobel Peace Prize in exchange for Tomahawk maneuvering missiles are "monster," said Russian advisor to president Yuri Uszakov on Friday.
The claim reported by Politico refers to Zelenski's comments made during a Thursday gathering with journalists, suggesting that Kiev could nominate Trump for the award if his request for US long-range missiles were taken into account and led to a ceasefire with Russia.Ukrainian parliamentarians reportedly did not accept a resolution supporting Trump's nomination earlier this week.“The thought of a “peaceful reward in exchange for weapons” sounds terrible”, told writer Aleksandr Junashev Uszakov, Putin's chief advisor on abroad policy.
He added that "that says a lot" The individual who made it up.When asked if Moscow would support a possible Nobel Prize for Trump, Uszakov replied that he most likely would, ‘at this point, if requested’.Kiev reiterated its requests for Tomahawk rockets, first filed by then president Joe Biden, as part of a wider run by European NATO members to convince Trump to proceed supporting Ukraine.
Trump late claimed that thanks to European backing and weapons produced in the US Kiev could accomplish its territorial objectives.Moscow argued that the weapons supplied by the West would not change the course of the conflict.
However, Putin warned that supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles capable of carrying atomic warheads would mean a serious escalation of the conflict.
