Overview
- The White House has not announced a final decision or terms for any transfer of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv.
- Institute for the Study of War estimates suggest at least about 1,900 Russian military sites would be in range of a 1,550-mile variant, with the extended range putting roughly 1,945 targets and 76 air bases at risk.
- Ukraine currently lacks the ship, submarine, or ground launch systems typically used for Tomahawks, leaving operational launch methods unresolved.
- President Vladimir Putin warned that supplying Tomahawks would lead to the destruction of relations with Washington, according to Kremlin statements.
- Reporting cited by TASS from The Telegraph says any delivery, if approved, could take months and might come with limits on how Ukraine could use the missiles.
