Putin tests western courage: Zelensky left frustrated as NATO refuses long-range missiles plan?

At the Brussels summit, NATO’s new chief Mark Rutte crushed Zelensky’s hopes for long-range missiles, insisting “it’s not on the table.” While Trump hinted at selling Tomahawks to Ukraine, NATO limited its offer to $2 billion in non-offensive aid, sparking frustration in Kyiv. Analysts say fears of Russian retaliation are splitting Western unity as Putin builds new strike formations across Europe’s east. With Zelensky headed to Washington and Trump weighing options, a new line is being drawn — between those ready to confront Moscow and those still playing it safe.
