U.S. President Donald Trump said he may offer long-range Tomahawk missiles that could be used by Kyiv if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not end the war in Ukraine, writes Reuters.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to Israel that he and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed Zelenskiy’s request for weaponry, including Tomahawks. They spoke by phone on Saturday and Sunday.

Tomahawk missiles have a range of 2,500 km, long enough to strike deep inside Russia, including Moscow. The Kremlin has warned against any provision of Tomahawks to Ukraine, and Trump on Sunday said they would be “a new step of aggression” if introduced into the war.

The United States would not sell missiles directly to Ukraine, but provide them to NATO, which can then offer them to the Ukrainians, Trump said: “Yeah, I might tell him (Putin), if the war is not settled, we may very well do it. We may not, but we may do it. … Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don’t think so”.
