US EditionPentagon cleared giving Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles, leaving final decision to Trump
The Pentagon assessment supports supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles capable of 1,000-mile strikes, pending President Trump's final approval amid strategic and political concerns.
- Earlier this month the Pentagon gave the White House the green light to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, leaving the final political decision to President Donald Trump.
- Volodymyr Zelensky urged the transfer, asking the U.S. to supply missiles to strike oil and energy facilities deep inside Russia, with Tomahawk missiles reaching targets up to 1,000 miles away.

- The missile's production lineage—General Dynamics to McDonnell Douglas to Hughes Aircraft—eventually consolidated under Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a division of RTX Corporation.
