Overview

• President Donald Trump said he has "sort of" made a decision on allowing Tomahawks to reach Ukraine and is seeking details on Kyiv’s intended use, with a plan under review for European NATO allies to purchase and transfer the missiles.
• Vice President J.D. Vance said talks with European partners are ongoing and reiterated that the final decision rests with Trump.
• Russian leaders warned that Tomahawk deliveries would mark a qualitative escalation, with Sergei Ryabkov and Dmitry Peskov cautioning of severe consequences and Andrei Kartapolov threatening to destroy launchers in Ukraine and retaliate against suppliers.
• Despite those warnings, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov insisted the post‑Anchorage momentum with Washington continues and later said Moscow would support Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize while denouncing Zelensky’s suggestion of tying the award to missile deliveries as a "monstrous idea."
• Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky argued Tomahawks would strengthen Kyiv and push Moscow toward talks, as analysis by ISW estimated at least 1,945 Russian military objects are within range of the 1,550‑mile variant and experts noted training and integration would take months.
