- 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.
