Russia has issued a warning concerning a potential move by the United States, authorized by Donald Trump, to supply long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This action could lead to the Kremlin declaring nuclear war against both the United States and Britain.
Recent intelligence indicates that Washington is preparing to assist Kyiv by providing advanced targeting data for strikes on Russia’s energy networks. Additionally, the US is considering supplying Tomahawk and Barracuda missiles for deep incursions into Russian territory as a response to Moscow rejecting Trump’s peace efforts.
The proposed targets would enable Ukraine to intensify its successful attacks on Russian refineries, pipelines, power stations, and other infrastructure to disrupt Vladimir Putin’s oil supplies and revenues.
Military analyst Colonel Igor Korotchenko highlighted the significance of the Tomahawk missile, emphasizing its potential to trigger a global conflict. He stressed that such strikes would likely require US or British military involvement to reach targets inside Russia, which could escalate into a war under international law norms.
Colonel Korotchenko cautioned that while there is no indication of nuclear-armed Tomahawks, Russia is prepared to respond with all available conventional and nuclear weapons if deemed necessary to counter the perceived threat.
Regarding the deployment of Tomahawks, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov raised concerns about the entities authorized to launch these missiles and assign their targets, emphasizing the need for careful analysis.
The shift in Trump’s intelligence strategy, driven by Putin’s reluctance to end the conflict with Ukraine, contrasts sharply with his earlier policies. This change coincided with Russia’s renewed heavy airstrikes, including attacks on civilian areas such as Bucha near Kyiv and Odessa, causing significant damage and casualties.
Oleksiy Kuleba, deputy premier of Ukraine, condemned the ongoing attacks by Russia, targeting critical infrastructure and disrupting the country’s stability. He called for stronger sanctions and disruptions to supply chains supporting the aggressor’s weaponry.
