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.
