Mr. Trump said he decided to provide Tomahawks to Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump said he has decided to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, but needs to know how they are used.
According to RIA Novosti, US President Donald Trump said on October 6 that he had actually made a decision on providing Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, but wanted to understand how Kiev intended to use them.
"I've made a decision. But I want to know what they're going to do with them, where they're going to be sent," President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on October 6 in response to a question about Tomahawks.
At the same time, the US President reiterated that he does not want to see the conflict escalate in Ukraine.
In September 2025, US Vice President JD Vance said the White House was discussing the possibility of transferring Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, but President Donald Trump would have the final say. Meanwhile, Trump envoys such as Keith Kellogg have made it clear that there is no solution to the problem.
According to the Telegraph, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky requested the supply of Tomahawk missiles during a meeting with the US President in mid-September. The Axios portal wrote that this was the only point in Kiev's request that President Trump rejected, while he expressed support for other requests.
According to the Washington Post, the head of the White House said that he was ready to lift restrictions on the use of long-range US weapons to strike deep into Russia, but did not make a direct commitment to amend the current restrictions.
At the meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in late September, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the use of Tomahawk missiles by the Ukrainian Armed Forces was impossible without the participation of US servicemen. In any case, Russia is ready to respond to aggressive actions: its domestic air defense systems have been adapted to ATACMS missiles and will be adapted to this type of weapon.
