Tomahawks for Ukraine is a sign of escalations between US and Russia.
Back in late September, in the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, US President Donald J. Trump that the ‘mandatory’ face-to-face with Kiev regime leader, Volodymyr Zelensky.
In his statements to the press and in subsequent social media posts, Trump appeared to start to cheer for Ukraine and incentivize it to regain lost territory – while at the same time reinforcing the understanding that European powers will have to carry the burden of this war.
But at that point, there was one item of military hardware that the US president reportedly refused to include in the packages that the EU can buy to send to Zelensky: Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Now, a little over a month later, Trump seems to have changed his mind about a weapon that has the range for strikes deep inside Russian territory, potentially even Moscow.
Sure enough, Trump says he will somehow curate which targets can be hit – but that’s not going to make Russian President Vladimir Putin any less angry about it.
