US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has promised that "firepower" is coming to Ukraine, raising speculation that the US could supply long-range Tomahawk missiles. Speaking ahead of a NATO defence ministers' meeting in Brussels, Hegseth said alliance members had stepped up commitments to Kyiv, with weapons likely to be delivered soon. President Trump is expected to discuss the missiles with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, amid warnings from Moscow and Belarus that such a move could escalate the conflict. NATO reaffirmed support for Ukraine and discussed boosting deterrence, counter-drone systems and defence capabilities. The world now watches to see if these promises will turn into decisive action.
