In a significant development in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles. This move, described by Trump as ‘a new step of aggression,’ could dramatically enhance Ukraine’s ability to strike deep into Russian territory. The consideration follows a recent phone conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Zelensky emphasized the need for advanced military capabilities to counter Russian offensives. Tomahawk missiles, with a striking range of 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles), would place Moscow within Ukraine’s reach, potentially altering the strategic dynamics of the war. However, Moscow has previously cautioned Washington against such actions, warning that it would escalate tensions and further strain U.S.-Russian relations. Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Israel, indicated that he might discuss the matter with Russia, stating, ‘Do they [Russia] want Tomahawks going in their direction? I don’t think so.’ The potential deployment of these missiles comes as Ukraine faces relentless Russian attacks on its cities and critical infrastructure, including energy facilities, which have caused widespread power outages. Last month, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, suggested that the U.S. president had authorized strikes deep into Russian territory, asserting that ‘there are no such things as sanctuaries’ in this conflict. Despite these developments, the Kremlin has downplayed the impact of Tomahawks, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stating that such weapons ‘won’t be able to change the dynamic’ of the war.
