Overview

• In a video released Sunday, Vladimir Putin warned that sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would lead to the destruction of Russia’s relations with the United States.
• Putin previously told the Valdai forum that using Tomahawks without direct U.S. military involvement is impossible and would mark a new stage of escalation.
• U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance said the administration is discussing providing Tomahawks to European allies for potential transfer to Kyiv, with President Trump to make the final call.
• An expert quoted by TASS said Ukraine would likely receive only early, shorter-range Tomahawk variants and noted the missiles can be adapted for Mk 41 launchers in countries such as Poland and Romania.
• Reuters reporting cited U.S. officials who doubt near-term viability due to current Tomahawk inventory demands, while other coverage highlights that long-range versions could reach deep into European Russia if ever provided.
