US EditionTrump to Discuss Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine Amid US-Russian Summit Announcement
The prospect of sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine may have influenced Russia to resume negotiations with the US, officials said.
- On Thursday, Donald Trump telephoned Vladimir Putin and said Putin agreed to meet in Budapest after a productive call, with Trump writing `We can already see that Moscow is rushing to resume dialogue as soon as it hears about Tomahawks`.
- Donald Trump shifted his stance, using the Tomahawk prospect as leverage, as Mr Trump said, `I might say, 'Look: if this war is not going to get settled, I'm going to send them Tomahawks,'` marking a change from telling Volodymyr Zelenskyy 'you don't have the cards.'
- With a range of up to 2,500 kilometres, Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles could reach Moscow, putting at least 1,900 Russian military targets at risk, including the Yelabuga factory, but thousands would be needed for impact.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the White House on Friday to discuss long-range weapons, attributing diplomatic progress to the Tomahawks threat, while Karoline Leavitt said, `I think he thinks it's possible, and he would, of course, love to see that happen.`
- The Kremlin warned supplying Tomahawks would be `a new step of aggression` and Dmitry Peskov said it causes 'extreme concern,' while analysts cautioned missiles are interceptable and not decisive.
