US EditionPutin Praises Trump but Warns that Supplies of US Long-Range Missile to Ukraine Will Badly Hurt Ties
The Kremlin warns of a strong response as the U.S. considers supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, enabling strikes up to 1,600 kilometers inside Russia, officials said.
- On Oct. 2, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists Russia will respond `appropriately` if the U.S. transfers Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, but he did not specify Moscow’s measures.
- U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday Washington is considering Kyiv's request for long-range Tomahawks, and President Donald Trump approved sharing high-value targeting intelligence for strikes.
- The Tomahawk cruise missile's latest variants reach 2,500 km while older models cover about 1,600 km; it uses TERCOM and GPS guidance with payload ~450 kg and costs about $2 million each.
- Fired from Ukrainian territory, Tomahawks would put Moscow, St. Petersburg and major Russian military bases west of the Urals within striking distance.
- U.S. officials warn supplies are constrained as inventories are committed to the U.S. Navy, while the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List guides European allies and Pentagon plans 57 missiles in 2026.
