Trump ready to hand over Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine: how the missiles will change the course of the war

The transfer of Tomahawk missiles could be a turning point in the war with Russia

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin says that if Ukrainian troops receive Tomahawk missiles, it will lead to an escalation of the conflict. Former British Army colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon spoke about the possible consequences of transferring this weapon within the framework of the war with Russia in an interview.

Long-range Tomahawk missiles may soon be in Ukrainian hands. The United States is set to transfer this weapon to Ukraine. The former representative of British troops noted their high efficiency, as these missiles can travel a distance of two thousand kilometers.

“We are confident that the Russians will have a hard time destroying or intercepting them. This will significantly expand the capabilities of Ukrainian forces to strike deep into Russian territory. This could truly change the situation. Perhaps it will force Russia and Putin to sit at the negotiating table.”

The Ukrainian army is already successfully using Storm Shadow, ATACMS, and HIMARS missiles provided by its partners. This firepower allows the Ukrainian army to attack targets in temporarily occupied territories and deep into the aggressor's territory.

Meeting between Zelensky and Trump: possible discussion of missile supplies

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington this Friday. The transfer of Tomahawk missiles may be one of the key topics of this meeting.

The introduction of Tomahawk missiles to the Ukrainian army could significantly change the balance of power in the region and provide Ukraine with new opportunities in controlling the situation in the east of the country and in any possible negotiations with Russia.
