How Tomahawks Could Help Ukraine Hurt Russia
Trump conditions supplying Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles on Russia ending its war, signaling increased U.S. military support amid ongoing conflict.
- On October 12, U.S. President Donald Trump said he was considering supplying Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles if Moscow refuses to end the war.
- Kyiv officials, including Andrii Yermak and Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, held talks with Lockheed Martin and Raytheon to seek cruise missiles, air defences and joint drone production ahead of a White House visit.
- Cost and supply constraints matter: each Tomahawk missile averages $1.3 million and U.S. production rate is limited to 50-70 a year, constraining possible deliveries.
- Kremlin officials warned the plan would be a serious escalation and expressed 'extreme concern', while Dmitry Medvedev warned Moscow's response could be nuclear if Ukraine receives Tomahawk missiles.
- Analysts note the move risks ending short-term détente with Russia and carries political risk for President Donald Trump, who seeks good relations, while experts caution the missiles may shift diplomacy more than battle lines.
