Putin says Tomahawk supply to Ukraine would destroy U.S. relations
Putin warned that supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would trigger a new stage of escalation and destroy positive trends in Russia-US relations, with missiles costing $1.3 million each.
- On Oct. 2 at the Valdai Discussion Club, Putin warned that Tomahawk deliveries to Ukraine 'will lead to the destruction of our relations or, at least, those positive trends.'
- Kyiv formally requested Tomahawk cruise missiles, and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said Washington is reviewing the request with President Donald Trump expected to decide; the missiles cost $1.3 million each and have a range of 2,500 km.
- Putin said it would require direct U.S. military participation, noting that Russia could shoot down Tomahawk cruise missiles and adapt its air defenses if used against Russian targets.
- The Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently said any transfer of Tomahawks would be `dangerous` and warned Moscow would respond appropriately, while Kremlin officials echoed Putin's warning.
- Questions in Washington centre on inventories and effectiveness as several U.S. officials told Reuters that sending Tomahawks may be unfeasible because current stockpiles are committed to the U.S. Navy and some in Trump's inner circle doubt their battlefield impact.
