Ukraine’s request for Tomahawk missiles was “confidential information” between partners, President Volodymyr Zelensky complained on Oct. 30 after a leak in the U.S. media.

The New York Times reported on Oct. 29 that, according to undisclosed U.S. officials, the request for Tomahawk missiles with a range of 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) was part of the secretive “non-nuclear deterrence package” included in Ukraine’s victory plan.

The sources told the outlet that Washington was unconvinced that Ukraine needed the weaponry and was reluctant to supply them due to their limited numbers.

“It was confidential information between Ukraine and the White House. How to understand these messages?” Zelensky said during a press briefing with journalists from Nordic countries.

“So this means (that) between partners, there is no (confidentiality).”
