Trump publicly discusses with Russia the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles and potential transfer
Former U.S.
President Donald Trump made a high-profile statement, indicating that he plans to soon engage in negotiations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin regarding the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
He described these advanced weapon systems as ‘incredible weapons, highly offensive,’ emphasizing their strategic importance in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
According to Trump, he has already informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the potential deployment of these missiles, hinting at an escalation of the conflict.
The U.S.
president mentioned the possibility of threatening Moscow with the delivery of these missiles to Kyiv if Russia does not cease its aggression and pursue diplomatic resolution.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin openly acknowledged its concern over the potential transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, highlighting the heightened tensions in the region.
Trump also pointed out that there is a possibility of fully or partially deploying these weapons to support Ukraine, which raises significant international alarm.
At the same time, he stressed that the U.S.
also possesses weapons and ammunition, which are insufficient to resolve the conflict directly, but remain vital for deterrence.
Trump noted that Russian President Putin could improve his position by calming the conflict and seeking diplomatic solutions, expressing hope that he might choose this path.
He also remarked that the U.S.
government is prepared to use military force if necessary, emphasizing the importance of strengthening national defense with modern weaponry.
The ultimate decision on this volatile situation remains diplomatic, but the potential deployment of Tomahawk missiles is currently one of the most urgent issues discussed worldwide, drawing substantial media attention and analysis.
