Overview
- President Trump said he had "sort of made a decision" on whether to provide Tomahawks and indicated he wants clarity on how Ukraine would use them before approving any move.
- The Institute for the Study of War estimates extended-range variants could put roughly 1,900 to 1,945 Russian military sites in range, including up to 76 air bases.
- Ukraine lacks standard naval and ground launch platforms for Tomahawks, suggesting any package would need launch systems or modifications plus training and logistics support.
- The Telegraph, cited by TASS, reported that deliveries, if approved, could take months and that Kyiv might still face restrictions on employing the missiles.
- Russian officials warned of consequences, with Vladimir Putin saying a transfer would damage relations, a senior lawmaker vowing to destroy missiles and launchers, and Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov calling the step escalatory.
