Donald Trump said he has not ruled out supplying US-made Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russia resists a peaceful resolution, a step Volodymyr Zelenskyy says could pressure Moscow and would be used only against military targets. Vladimir Putin downplayed the missiles’ threat but warned their delivery would mark a “qualitatively different” escalation; the Kremlin voiced “extreme concern.” Zelenskyy is set to meet his US counterpart in Washington on Friday to discuss air defenses and long-range weapons. Analysts say Tomahawks’ low-flying, long-range strikes could hit deep inside Russia, though numbers and cost may limit impact.
