Moscow has warned of the risk of escalation if Kyiv is provided with the US-built long-range missiles.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said his country would only use long-range Tomahawk missiles against Russian military targets, as the Kremlin expressed alarm over Washington’s potential plan to offer the weapons to Kyiv.
Zelenskyy’s comment was aired by Fox News in the United States on Sunday, the same day he spoke to US President Donald Trump.

Writing on X, the Ukrainian president called his latest conversation with Trump “very productive”, noting that they had discussed strengthening his country’s “air defence, resilience, and long-range capabilities”. It was the second time the pair had spoken in as many days.
On Monday, Trump said he would only agree to Tomahawks to Ukraine if he knew what it planned to do with them. He also noted, without giving further details, that he had “sort of made a decision” over the issue.
Given that their range is 2,500km (1,550 miles), Ukraine could use the weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
Speaking en route to Israel on Sunday afternoon, Trump gave further comments on the Tomahawks, saying he may tell Russian President Vladimir Putin that he could give them to Ukraine if the war is not brought to an end soon.
“They’d like to have Tomahawks. That’s a step up,” Trump said, referring to the Ukrainians.
“The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon; very offensive weapon. And honestly, Russia does not need that,” Trump added.
In comments published earlier on Sunday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the topic was of “extreme concern” to Russia.
“Now is really a very dramatic moment in terms of...

Even senile Joe would not give St Z long range missiles. What has happened to President Trump? I suspect the Neo-cons have his ear....that said, Trump still hasn’t made a decision ( that we know about).
Oh pretty please!!! Can I please have Tomahawk Missiles??? Pretty please with sugar on it???
Can we please not try to be Masters of the Universe and involve ourselves in EVERYTHING? I guess it’s too much to ask.
Just like Independence Day where they taught a bunch of regular guys to fly F-18s. They trained some Ukes on operation of the Tomahawk....easy, only took a day or two.
Trump will not ship Tomahawks to Ukraine.
This war will end when "Z" discovers that Russia has already conquered 20% of Ukraine and chances of getting it back are "0".
Yeh...I know what Trump said...that was a bone for "Z".....kinda like giving him the 2 of spades for his one card deck.
The sequence of game changers:
British Challenger tanks will be shipped in
M1-Abrams will be shipped in
Patriots will be shipped in
F-16s will be shipped in
A few drone strikes happened on the bomber leg of the Russian strategic Triad
The Coalition of the Willing will “prepare” to
deploy troops just as soon as there is a ceasefire
There will be bone-breaking sanctions
India will be forced via sanction/tariff to end all oil purchases from Russia
And now, Tomahawks will be threatened (so far, not approved)
Winter cometh
Why would you call everything a “game changer”, the little odds and ends and scraps that we and our allies have sent them has helped them hold off the world’s second strongest military which is their neighbor, and which has called in the North Korean Army to help them as the invasion heads into year 4, that is a lot of holding off for little Ukraine to have accomplished for so many years, and they are still at it.
“only use tomahawks...”
Clearly nonsense in English as is most of the article. Clearly in addition to tomahawks, drones and bombs and other types of missiles will be used against Russia in Russia.
Russia hits civilian energy infrastructure to freeze civilians in the coming Winter. No?
I smell a Trump deal being orchestrated...
He knows (or suspects) that the Ukes would target the Kremlin, as does Putzin...
Tomahawks = Tariffs...
The art of the deal...
OK to use Tomahawks?
Ask Jane Fonda.
