Russia’s military experts are observing potential deliveries of US Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine, according to the Kremlin’s statement on Monday. However, they maintain that these weapons would not change the situation on the battlefield, as quoted by Reuters.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was crucial to determine whether the United States or Ukraine supplied the targeting data for the missiles.

Russia’s SCARIEST Strike Burns Ukraine; Towers Crumble, Cars Burn In Night Of Fire And Fear

This comes as the United Statesweighs Ukraine’s request for long-range Tomahawk missiles to help repel Russian forces, as revealed by Vice President JD Vance on Sunday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked Washington to sell Tomahawks to European allies willing to pass them on to Kyiv. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Vance said President Donald Trump will make the final decision on whether to approve the deal. “We’re certainly reviewing a number of requests from the Europeans,” Vance noted.Trump had previously rejected Ukrainian appeals for long-range missiles but has reportedly grown increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s resistance to a peace agreement. Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy to Ukraine, added that Trump now appears open to long-range Ukrainian strikes. “Reading what he and Vice President Vance have said…the answer is yes. Use the ability to hit deep. There are no sanctuaries,” Kellogg told Fox News later Sunday.Tomahawk missiles can reach about 2,500 km (1,550 miles), which would place Moscow within Ukraine’s strike range if the weapons are supplied—a move Russia would likely see as an escalation.
