Trump Considers Supplying Tomahawk Missiles to Ukraine if Russia Refuses to End War
President Donald Trump has indicated that he may authorize the delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine if Russia continues its military campaign without signs of ending the conflict. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said he could “send them Tomahawks” should Moscow prolong its aggression, describing the weapon as a powerful offensive tool capable of changing the battlefield dynamics in Ukraine’s favor.
The consideration follows renewed Russian missile attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which have intensified pressure on Kyiv’s defenses. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently renewed calls for long-range weapons during discussions with U.S. officials, emphasizing that such systems would help Ukraine defend its territory and deter future Russian offensives.
Trump clarified that no final decision has yet been made, but he is weighing the option seriously depending on Russia’s actions in the coming weeks. He also mentioned that any potential transfer could be coordinated through NATO channels to prevent direct U.S. involvement while maintaining strong deterrence. The Kremlin swiftly condemned the remarks, warning that any supply of long-range cruise missiles would be seen as a major escalation and could severely damage relations between Moscow and Washington.
Ukrainian officials have welcomed Trump’s statement as a sign of continued U.S. support, with Zelenskyy calling recent talks with the American administration “productive and strategic.” Military analysts believe the introduction of Tomahawks would significantly boost Ukraine’s precision strike capability, allowing it to hit key Russian command and logistics positions deep behind the front lines.
