Trump Considers Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine, Signals Call to Putin First

The president presents the possible transfer as leverage to push Moscow toward a settlement.

Overview

  • Trump said he would not rule out supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine if the war is not settled.
  • He said he intends to raise the issue with Russia and could phone Vladimir Putin before any decision.
  • He described potential deliveries as a new step of escalation after recent calls with Volodymyr Zelensky, and one report said any sale could route through NATO allies rather than directly to Kyiv.
  • Zelensky confirmed Tomahawks were discussed with Trump and pledged they would be used only against military targets, not civilians.
  • Russia has voiced concern, while Putin argued Tomahawks would not change the battlefield and said Russian air defenses have adapted to intercept ATACMS.
