• Axios reported the Tomahawk option was discussed with no final U.S. decision announced, and the Financial Times reported the U.S. has for months shared intelligence that helps Ukraine target Russian energy infrastructure.
• Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the potential transfer of long‑range Tomahawks causes serious concern in Russia and claimed the missiles could carry nuclear warheads.
