The president of the United States, Donald Trumpdeclared this Sunday that he is considering telling the president of Russia, Vladimir Putinwhich if the war in Ukraine does not end, will allow the Tomahawk missile shipment long range to kyiv.
The American leader suggested he had not yet decided whether he would provide the weapons, but noted that he discussed the missiles with the president of Ukraine, VolodÃmir Zelenskiin two phone calls this weekend.
“(Ukraine) would like to have Tomahawk. We talked about it, and we’ll see. To be honest, I might have to talk to Russia about the Tomahawks. Do they want to have Tomahawk missiles heading their way? “I don’t think so,” Trump told reporters from Air Force One shortly after departing Washington for his trip to the Middle East.
However, Trump acknowledged that this would mean an escalation of the conflict.
Zelensky has long requested Tomahawk missiles from the United States.
He range of 1,500 meters of these weapons could easily put Moscow in Ukraine’s crosshairs, according to CNN.
