Overview
- Trump told reporters he has "sort of made a decision" but would first require clarity on Ukraine’s targets, saying he is not looking to escalate the war.
- Vice President J.D. Vance said Washington is considering the request, as reporting points to possible U.S. inventory limits and routes involving European allies.
- Tomahawks can reach up to about 2,500 kilometers, and ISW estimates roughly 1,655 to 1,945 Russian military and industrial sites would fall within range depending on the variant.
- Putin said supplying Tomahawks would destroy recent positive trends in bilateral ties, argued their use would imply direct U.S. involvement, and claimed Russia’s air defenses would adapt.
- Ukraine reported long‑range strikes using domestically produced drones and missiles on a Russian ammunition plant, an oil terminal in occupied Crimea, and an army depot, while Russian authorities said many drones were intercepted.
