In Washington, officials are weighing a radical shift in policy regarding the war in Ukraine: the possible supply to Ukraine of Tomahawk missiles, which would allow strikes on Russian territory, and this prospect is actively being discussed at the highest levels.
According to Vice President Jay Vans, the discussion is taking place right now, and Trump may make a ‘final decision’ on this initiative.
“We are currently negotiating on this issue right now,” Vans said on the Fox News Sunday program, adding that Trump would make the “final decision”.
Potential impact on security and Moscow’s reaction
In the military-political debate, they discuss whether the United States will sell or transfer these missiles via Europe to supply Kyiv, and what implications this would have for Russia’s air defense systems and overall escalation.
“Seize the opportunity to strike deep targets,” he said. “There are no shelters.”
Zelensky spoke cautiously on the matter, noting that Ukraine already uses long-range drones to strike targets in Russia, but new weapons systems could change the nature of the war and push for further escalation. Analysts add that the course of events will depend on Washington’s decisions and Moscow’s reaction.
In the context of 2025, such a radical shift could affect diplomacy, European security, and the balance of power in the world. Experts emphasize the need for close coordination between the United States and its allies to avoid accidental escalation and maintain strategic stability.

- Ukrainian President Zelensky and former US President Trump held a historic meeting at the UN General Assembly, focusing on advancing a just peace for Ukraine and discussing military support and frozen Russian assets.
- Ukraine expects additional deliveries of Swedish Gripen, French Mirage, and American F-16 jets under the PURL program, supported by European allies and the US to strengthen its air defense.
