Trump Says He Has 'Sort Of' Decided on Tomahawks for Ukraine

The White House is seeking assurances on targeting before any transfer.

Overview

  • Trump told reporters he wants clarity on how Kyiv would employ the missiles and emphasized he does not seek escalation.
  • No authorization or delivery has been announced as the administration weighs targeting constraints and possible transfer pathways.
  • ISW assesses that Tomahawk variants with ranges of about 1,600 km and 2,500 km could put at least 1,655 and 1,945 Russian military sites within reach.
  • Vladimir Putin and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that supplying Tomahawks would constitute serious escalation and damage U.S.–Russia relations.
  • Zelensky has pressed for long‑range strike capabilities, and Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed ongoing internal discussions on Ukraine’s Tomahawk request.
