"US President Donald Trump says he has not ruled out supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russia continues to refuse a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine this started in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he and Trump had discussed the long-range missiles in a phone call although he did not provide further details."
"Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, said the missiles posed no serious threat to his country but added that supplying them to Ukraine would still mark "an entirely new, qualitatively different, escalation" in US-Russia relations. Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told Russian state television that Tomahawk deliveries to Ukraine were causing "extreme concern" in Moscow. Tried and tested Tomahawks are high-accuracy, subsonic cruise missiles, come in many variants, can carry different warheads, including nuclear ones, and can be launched from various platforms."
The United States has not ruled out supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russia continues to refuse a peaceful resolution to the conflict that began with the 2022 invasion. Kyiv reported that long-range missiles were discussed in a phone call and that such weapons could help bring an end to Russia's war on Ukraine. Kyiv indicated that supplied Tomahawks would be used only against Russian military targets. Moscow described the missiles as posing no serious threat but warned their supply would represent a qualitatively different escalation in relations and expressed extreme concern. Tomahawks are high-accuracy, subsonic cruise missiles developed in the 1970s with multiple variants and warhead options, including nuclear delivery capability.
