"Russian government spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained that the weapons, if delivered, would not be a game-changer in the war. The question, as before, is this: who can launch these missiles? Can only Ukrainians launch them, or do American soldiers have to do that? Who is determining the targeting of these missiles? The American side or the Ukrainians themselves? Moscow has previously said that it will consider the provision of targeting data or intelligence to launch attacks as crossing the line."
"The request comes as US President Donald Trump appears to be shifting his stance on support for Ukraine against Russia because of his growing frustration with President Vladimir Putin's war push despite a meeting to discuss peace in Alaska in August. Moscow has repeatedly suggested that Russia could restart production of intermediate-range nuclear weapons and station similar missiles within striking distance of the West. In a Monday post on Telegram, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that such interference could result in a war with weapons of mass destruction."
Ukraine has requested US long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles that could enable strikes deep inside Russia. US President Donald Trump appears to be shifting his stance on support for Ukraine amid growing frustration with President Vladimir Putin's war push despite a meeting to discuss peace in Alaska. Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the weapons, if delivered, would not be a game-changer but warned the US could cross a red line by directly interfering. Peskov questioned who would launch and who would determine targeting of the missiles. Moscow said providing targeting data or intelligence would cross the line. Russia signaled potential responses including restarting intermediate-range nuclear production, and former President Dmitry Medvedev warned such interference could risk war with weapons of mass destruction.
