US President Donald Trump publicly emphasized America's significant stockpiles of Tomahawk cruise missiles amid discussions about their possible transfer to Ukraine. According to military analysts, this emphasis could serve as a tool to influence Moscow and signal readiness for actual deliveries.

Trump pointed to the country's extensive ammunition reserves, which, according to experts, underscores the United States' strategic potential. "We have a large stockpile of these missiles," Trump added, without specifying numbers but confirming Kyiv's interest in weapons with a range of up to 2500 kilometers.

Experts interviewed by Reuters and Axios believe that Trump's statements are not only a diplomatic maneuver to stimulate negotiations with Russia, but also a demonstration of the potential for escalation.

"Trump could use this as leverage on Moscow, but he is also hinting at large-scale deliveries if the conflict drags on," — noted one of the sources.

Zelenskyy's visit to Washington on Friday will intensify discussions on this topic.
