Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Wednesday that the country has requested long-range Tomahawk missiles from the United States, the Ukrayinska Pravda media outlet reported.

"This was confidential information between Ukraine and the White House," Zelensky said, commenting on recent media reports that suggested Kiev had requested for Tomahawk missiles.

The president said Ukraine asked for the long-range missiles as part of its "victory plan" planning to use them only if Russia "continues escalating" the conflict.

"I said it was a preventive tool," Zelensky said.

Earlier this week, western media reported that Zelensky asked for Tomahawk missiles from the United States as part of the "non-nuclear deterrence package" in his "victory plan."

The Tomahawk missiles have a range of about 2,400 km, according to local media reports.
