Trump Signals He May Approve Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine if War Isn’t Settled

The president linked any approval to a failure to reach a settlement, a stance that has drawn stark warnings from Moscow.

Overview

  • Trump told reporters he may authorize long‑range Tomahawks for Kyiv and suggested he could first speak with Vladimir Putin.
  • He said any provision would likely be routed through NATO rather than a direct U.S. transfer to Ukraine.
  • Volodymyr Zelensky said he is working with Washington on the request and pledged any Tomahawk use would target only military sites.
  • The Kremlin called the prospect an extreme concern, and Dmitry Medvedev warned Tomahawk launches could be read as nuclear, hinting at severe retaliation.
  • The missiles’ range of about 1,000–1,550 miles would put key Russian military and industrial sites within reach, though no transfer has been approved and negotiations continue.
