Overview

• Speaking aboard Air Force One, the president said he may authorize long‑range Tomahawk missiles for Kyiv if the war is not settled, emphasizing that no decision has been made.
• He said he might call Vladimir Putin before acting and indicated a transfer could be routed through NATO or allied partners rather than directly from the U.S.
• Volodymyr Zelensky reported two calls with Trump over the weekend and said Ukraine is working to secure Tomahawks.
• Kyiv says any Tomahawks would be used only against military targets, while Dmitry Medvedev warned the move "could end badly" and argued Russia cannot distinguish nuclear from conventional Tomahawks in flight.
• Tomahawks have an estimated range of roughly 1,000 to 1,550 miles, placing Moscow and many rear military and energy sites within reach, which analysts say could increase pressure on Russia.
