There are no such things as sanctuaries."Vice president Vance said in a separate Fox News programme on Sunday that the US was having "conversations" on whether to give long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv, a request Trump has previously denied."It's something that the president is going to make the final determination on," Vance said, referring to the missiles, adding that the US was "looking at a number of requests from the Europeans."Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in a press briefing on Monday that there was "no panacea that can change the situation on the front for the Kyiv regime"."There's no magic weapon. Whether it's Tomahawks or other missiles, they won't be able to change the dynamic."Russia accuses NATO, EU of waging 'real war' on it via UkraineZelenskyy tells UN: Stop Russia's war or face destructive arms raceTrump said last week after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Kyiv was in a position, with the European Union's help, to fight and win "all of Ukraine back in its original form".Russia annexed the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea after an operation in 2014 and now controls regions in eastern and southern Ukraine following Moscow's full-scale invasion in February 2022.It marks a shift on Ukraine for Trump, who told Zelenskyy during a televised Oval Office bust-up in February that "you don't have the cards" to beat Russia.Russia has vowed to press on with its offensive in the three-and-a-half-year-long conflict, with the Kremlin recently dismissing Trump's claim that the country was a "paper tiger" with a floundering economy.Source: AFP/dySign up for our newslettersGet our pick of top stories and thought-provoking articles in your inboxSubscribe hereGet the CNA appStay updated with notifications for breaking news and our best storiesDownload hereGet WhatsApp alertsJoin our channel for the top reads for the day on your preferred chat appJoin hereAlso worth readingContent is loading...Expand to read the full storyGet bite-sized news via a newcards interface.
