Overview

• U.S. officials are weighing expanded support that, according to the Wall Street Journal, includes sharing classified intelligence for attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and considering long‑range missiles such as Tomahawks and Barracudas.
• A White House schedule listed a closed Oval Office intelligence briefing for President Trump on Thursday at 5 p.m. local time.
• At the Valdai Forum, Vladimir Putin called a possible Tomahawk transfer dangerous, warned of a qualitatively new stage of escalation, and said Russia would strengthen air defenses.
• Russia’s U.N. envoy Vassily Nebenzya said Moscow would find a response, while Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov argued such missiles would not change the battlefield situation.
• Ukraine has pressed for longer‑range weapons, with President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly raising the request with President Trump at the U.N.; no U.S. decision on transfers has been publicly announced.
