Welcome to the NewsHour. President Trump today expressed doubt that Ukraine could defeat Russia and win back all the land Moscow has seized since it first invaded in 2014.

The president's renewed skepticism comes after his Friday meeting with Ukrainian President Vlodemir Zelensky in which Mr. Trump declined Ukraine's request for long-range missiles.

Nick Schifrin has the details.

On Ukraine's front lines this weekend, a woman lay badly wounded, a few feet from the victim of a Russian gunshot.

They and many Ukrainians tonight fear they must fend for themselves amid fallout from Friday's cabinet room meeting

Would much rather have them not need tomahawks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived hoping for American Tomahawk cruise missiles,

whose range can reach well beyond Moscow.

But President Trump said no for now.

They're a very dangerous weapon. And it could mean big, you know, escalation. It could

mean a lot of bad things can happen. Tomahawks are a big deal. But one thing I have to say,

we want tomahawks also.

The rest of the meeting did not go better.

Two European and one U.S. official tell PBS NewsHour it was difficult, with President

Trump refusing to provide new weapons capabilities, and once again raising Vladimir Putin's

demand for land swaps, a throwback to their Oval Office map discussion from earlier this year.

Moscow is demanding that Ukraine unilaterally give up the portion of Donetsk, it still controls,

and that Russia has failed to capture despite 11 years of war.

Russia would return slivers of Ukrainian territory that it captured in Kharkiv and Sumi regions.

President Trump's vision is to end the war on the current lines, no matter what Ukraine

loses, as he told reporters last night.
