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 United States is considering Ukraine's request to obtain long-range Tomahawk missiles for its continued defensive efforts to push back against Russia, Vice President JD Vance said. After meeting President Donald Trump durning the United Nations General Assembly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked the US to sell Tomahawks to European nations that would send them to Ukraine. Vance said on Fox News Sunday that Trump would make the "final determination" on whether to allow the deal.
