Tomahawk missiles revive tensions between the United States, Russia and Ukraine
Zelenski wants to strengthen his defense with long-range weapons, and Putin says relations with Washington will deteriorate.
The Tomahawk missiles are once again at the centre of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Kiev calls on the US, on the one hand, to increase its ability to launch long-range attacks and, on the other, to exert pressure on Moscow during the peace negotiations.
Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of handing it over to Kiev before meeting Volodimir Zelensky at the White House this Friday. "Maybe I should talk to Russia about the Tomahawks. Do they want Tomahawk missiles approaching them?" he said on Sunday.
Moscow responded strongly to this. Vladimir Putin warned that this step will "significantly damage" relations with the US. The head of Russian espionage called it an "attack."
The Tomahawk missiles are high-precision cruise missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometres and a capacity to load half a ton of explosives that have been used by Washington since the Gulf War in Iraq, Libya, Syria or Afghanistan.
Trump plans to talk to Putin at his next meeting in Budapest as part of his efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict that began in 2022.
