Russia has stated that it is closely monitoring Ukraine’s request to the United States for long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, which could significantly extend Kyiv’s strike capabilities deep into Russian territory.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that such a transfer would not fundamentally alter the battlefield balance, but warned that Washington would risk crossing a “red line” previously set by Moscow. He reiterated that supplying these weapons would be viewed as direct Western interference in the conflict.
Peskov asked, “The question, as before, is this: who can launch these missiles? … Can only Ukrainians launch them, or do American soldiers have to do that?… Who is determining the targeting of these missiles? The American side or the Ukrainians themselves?”
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, in a post on Telegram, cautioned that continued Western interference could escalate into a conflict involving “weapons of mass destruction.”
