Awaits official clarifications regarding the possible supply of long-range missiles to , a topic much discussed on the international scene. The core of Russian concern lies in the information that such weapons may be capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
The discussion gained prominence after the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, announced the possibility of granting long-range missiles to Ukraine. The weapons in question are Tomahawk missiles, known in the military for having a range of up to 2,500 km. With this capability, the weaponry would be capable of reaching large Russian urban centers, including the capital Moscow and Saint Petersburg, from Ukrainian territory.
Given the nuclear potential of the missiles and their strategic reach, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov questioned American authorities, awaiting formal confirmation or denial of the shipment.
Russia made its warning clear: if the supply is confirmed, diplomatic relations between Moscow and Washington could take a “completely different direction”. The Kremlin emphasizes that this escalation would make both the end of the war in Ukraine and any possibility of a ceasefire unfeasible.
