Amid growing impatience over the Kremlin’s reluctance to participate in direct talks with Ukraine, Washington is now considering providing Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles, according to US Vice President JD Vance,
Euronews reports.
The US is "looking at" providing Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles, as Moscow continues to refuse bilateral and trilateral peace talks brokered by US President Donald Trump, his Vice President JD Vance confirmed on Sunday.
"You asked this question about Tomahawks. It's something the president is going to make the final determination on," Vance told Fox News.
"What the president is going to do is what's in the best interest for the United States of America," he said. "I know we're having conversations this very minute about the issue".
According to reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked Trump to supply Kyiv with Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles during a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week.
While Washington is still considering the Tomahawk decision, the US administration has already authorised Ukraine’s long-range strikes deep into Russia, according to the US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg.
"The answer is yes, use the ability to hit deep, there are no such things as sanctuaries," Kellogg said on Sunday, explaining that the final decision is with Trump on a case-by-case basis.
