Overview

• President Trump told reporters he has almost made up his mind but wants clarity on how Kyiv would employ the cruise missiles.
• Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed internal deliberations, including a discussed option to route Tomahawks via European allies, with the final call left to Trump.
• Anti‑nuclear advocate Greg Mello warned that providing Tomahawks would be a serious strategic escalation and urged Trump to accept President Putin’s proposal to extend New START limits for one year.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin cautioned that deliveries would undercut recent positive trends in U.S.–Russia relations and said employing Tomahawks would require direct U.S. military involvement.
• Retired U.S. Army officer Earl Rasmussen said the missiles’ reported 2,500 km range could put major Russian cities within reach but argued limited numbers would likely yield little strategic benefit for Kyiv.
