US President Donald Trump is no longer ruling out allowing Ukraine to acquire American-made Tomahawk missiles. These could strike deep inside Russian territory and Kyiv believes they could change the course of the war.

Ukraine has ramped up cross-border strikes, targeting Russian energy infrastructure, including a power plant in Belgorod and oil facilities near Moscow. These attacks, often carried out by swarms of drones, reflect Kyiv’s strategy to pressure Moscow into negotiations. The US has gradually supplied more advanced weapons, from HIMARS to ATACMS, and may now approve Tomahawk missiles, capable of hitting targets 2,500 km away. While Donald Trump weighs Kyiv’s request, Russian President Vladimir Putin warns the move could derail relations with the US.
