Overview

• President Trump told reporters he could raise the issue directly with Vladimir Putin and called any Tomahawk provision a new step of escalation.
• No transfer has been approved, and reporting indicates any provision would likely run through sales to NATO allies who could then pass missiles to Kyiv.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the discussions and said any use would target military objectives only, not civilians.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tomahawks would change nothing on the battlefield and pointed to air defenses adapting to similar threats.
• Dmitry Medvedev warned the move could end badly and asserted that any launches would effectively be carried out by the United States rather than Ukraine.
