US President Donald Trump has indicated he has made a decision regarding the potential supply of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine but declined to disclose specifics. Speaking in the Oval Office on October 6, 2025, Trump told reporters, “I’ve sort of made a decision on that. I would have to ask the question where are they sending them.” He emphasized, “I’m not looking to see escalation,” amid ongoing tensions over military aid.
Last month, US Vice President J.D. Vance disclosed that the White House was evaluating the deployment of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. The weapons, priced at approximately $1.3 million each with a range of 2,500km, could theoretically target Moscow and beyond. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that such a move would severely strain US-Russia relations and argued that Ukraine’s military would require direct American logistical support to operate the system effectively.
Reports from Reuters and the Financial Times suggest the US is unlikely to approve the transfer, citing existing commitments of Tomahawk missiles to the Navy and skepticism within Trump’s administration about their strategic impact on the battlefield.
