The United States is considering Ukraine's request to obtain long-range Tomahawk missiles for its effort to push back against Russian invaders, Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has asked the United States to sell Tomahawks to European nations that would send them to Ukraine. Vance said on “Fox News Sunday” that U.S. President Donald Trump would make the "final determination" on whether to allow the deal.
"We're certainly looking at a number of requests from the Europeans," Vance said.
Tomahawk missiles have a range of 2,500 km (1,550 miles), and would be a powerful asset in Ukraine's arsenal as it fights back against regular barrages of Russian missile and drone attacks.

Make them pay cash
No
Best hurry, After last night there’s nothing left of Kiev.
Great move if they do it.
Vance is even more America First than Trump.
Whatever they decide, support our President.
If we can’t stop the war, then stay out of it completely.
At what will they be aiming?
Russian power plants and other energy infrastructure.
How many tomahawks could we give the EU to give them to Ukraine and then excellent targetting assistance? Thousands?!!
Maybe Putin should come to the table in seriousness? Or if not, let’s take out Russias gasoline and oil infrastructure. Weapons manufacturing and transport hubs too. Maybe a few hospitals accidentally in Moscow, just to be fair you know.
Another escalation. I thought trump was going to get us out of endless foreign wars.
Moscow will be in ruins in 60 days. If Putin wants to throw nukes it’s on him. He was always going to.anyway so too bad for the Rusdian people.
Taking out Russian power and energy infrastructure is not escalation. It’s a proportionate response by Ukraine.
No, no, no. I thought Trump was going to get the USA out of that war.
This is so sad. The US should be friends and allies. So much in common. So un necessary.
Ukraine should have been settled short of war. The corruption won, for now.
Pray the war ends before nukes fly.
This is insane. We are on the road to ruin. Risking nuclear war for a stupid escape in Russia’s backyard. What would we do if Russia gave Mexican cartels hypersonic missiles?
They’d probably be using our money. I really wonder how much Biden gave them over 4 years and how much was actually used for defense. Every week it seemed Biden was announcing another 5 billion here, 10 billion there going to the Ukraine, meaning my paycheck is eaten alive every week by taxes while I fall further and further into debt.
Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $4k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we’re gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

Hi, Happy,
I agree almost completely, excepting the "liberal's" favorite phrase, "proportionate response."
Given it's a war, both sides should take out each other's "power and energy infrastructure" as best active belligerents can,and see who remains standing. Besides, what the heck does "proportionate response" mean anyway?
Russia sending about 500 drones in their attacks lately. Ukraine is destroying most but not all of them. Russia is producing 1,000 drones daily. Russia is testing Ukraine’s drone/missile defense capability and stockpiling drones. What’s going to happen when Russia sends 1,000-1,500 or even 2,000 drones in one attack?
What’s next, nukes? We must stay out of this mess.
