Trump and Zelensky Discuss Tomahawks, No Decision Reached

Washington is weighing a European retransfer option to limit escalation risks.

Overview

  • Axios reports the Oct. 11–12 leader calls covered Ukraine’s air defenses and possible Tomahawk supplies but produced no final decision.
  • The United States is considering having European countries purchase Tomahawks and then supply them to Ukraine instead of a direct U.S. transfer.
  • President Zelensky told Fox News that any use would focus on military targets only and said he expects such supplies.
  • President Trump told reporters he might inform President Putin that he would provide Tomahawks if the war does not end, as his ceasefire efforts remain stalled.
  • Russia has strongly opposed the idea, and the missiles’ roughly 2,500‑kilometer range would allow strikes deep into Russian territory including Moscow.
