Overview

• President Trump said he has "sort of" made a decision on authorizing Tomahawk deliveries but wants clarity on how Ukraine would employ the missiles.
• Russia escalated warnings, with Vladimir Putin calling possible transfers a "qualitatively new" escalation and Maria Zakharova saying ties with Washington would suffer irreparable damage.
• Andrei Kartapolov warned that countries supplying or using Tomahawks would face consequences and said Russia would target any detected launchers.
• Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov argued Tomahawk use would require U.S. software and launch support, framing it as direct American involvement.
• U.S. officials are considering a plan for European NATO allies to purchase Tomahawks for Kyiv, and ISW estimates thousands of Russian military sites would fall within range, though no transfer has been approved.
