US Vice President JD Vance said on Fox News Sunday that the United States is considering Ukraine’s request for long-range Tomahawk missiles to help push back against Russian military operations. 🇺🇸🚀🇺🇦
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked the US to sell Tomahawks to European nations, which would then send them to Ukraine. Vance added that President Donald Trump will make the final decision.
With a range of up to 2,500 km, Tomahawk missiles could be a game-changer in Ukraine’s arsenal as it defends against waves of Russian missiles and drones.
In the past, Trump denied similar requests, but recent frustration with President Vladimir Putin’s actions may sway the decision.
Vance’s remarks came after Russia launched a massive aerial assault lasting more than 12 hours. Nearly 600 drones and several dozen missiles targeted seven regions, killing at least four people and injuring around 80, according to Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian leader warned of retaliation, saying the attack shows Moscow "wants to continue fighting and killing." Russia, meanwhile, said it struck military facilities and industrial sites supporting Ukraine’s armed forces.
On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s RIA news agency that there have been no signals from Kyiv about resuming negotiations between the delegations.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes are on President Trump’s final call and what it could mean for the next phase of this conflict. 💥
