From the CNN, Oct 18, 2025:
"Trump declines to give Ukraine long-range missiles as he and Zelensky are split over future of war
US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were split over the future of the war in Ukraine following their third sit down at the White House Friday.
Trump and Zelensky met for several hours alongside their top aides Friday in what was described to CNN by several people familiar as a tense, frank and, at times, “uncomfortable” discussion.
Trump made clear to Zelensky in a “direct and honest” conversation that — for now — the Ukrainian leader would not receive the long-range missiles that can reach far into Russia that he was seeking. One official said Trump was under the impression that Ukraine is seeking to escalate and prolong the conflict and is worried about potential losses during an upcoming harsh winter..."

The harsh winter is already here, and Russia continues to inflict heavy losses upon Ukrainian civilians, which presumably makes Trump happy, because, you know, he has a wonderful relationship with Putin, and it is only Zelensky who escalates.
