❝Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. Now the US said they can't deliver them.

So Switzerland said then we won't pay.

The US have now seized the funds we paid for the F-35s (which we probably won't get as well) instead.❞

"Trust in the USA is suffering"
The development has been poorly received in parliament. "It's infuriating when we halt payments and then the money is simply diverted,"

Zelensky spoke online with journalists while in the Middle East. He says Ukraine secured diesel supplies for at least a year, and the army has no fuel shortage complaints.

He says Ukraine is looking in the Middle East for mutually beneficial defense cooperation, weapons production, and swapping experience and capabilities.

Zelensky says Ukraine signed 10-year cooperation deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and plans to sign with the UAE within days.

He says Russian satellites recently imaged US, UK and Middle East military sites, so lifting sanctions on Russia is the wrong move.
