US President Donald Trump said that he has almost made a decision on the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He announced this on October 6 during a conversation with journalists, the broadcast of which is available on the White House YouTube<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The American leader confirmed that the decision is almost ready, but he wants to know exactly how Ukraine plans to use the weapons.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I kind of made a decision, overall, if you think about it. I think I want to find out what they’re going to do with them, where they’re going to send them, I guess. I would have to ask that question,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

With this statement, the US president effectively confirmed the administration’s readiness for a step that could significantly strengthen Ukraine’s capabilities to deter Russia. At the same time, he is demonstrating caution, seeking to avoid the risk of direct escalation with Moscow.<\/p>\n

Trump also reiterated his position that the war between Russia and Ukraine “never should have started.”<\/p>\n

“A bad decision was made on both sides,” he noted.<\/p>\n

The President also voiced his own assessment of the losses of the parties, noting that the fighting leaves behind colossal casualties.<\/p>\n

“This week they lost over 7,000 soldiers, both sides combined. Every week they lose 7,000, 8,000, 5,000,” he cited statistics.<\/p>\n

During a conversation with reporters, the head of the White House also spoke cautiously about the possible consequences of the arms transfer.<\/p>\n

When asked about the range of the Tomahawk missiles, Trump replied: “No, I know. I would ask a few questions. I want to see what… I’m not looking for escalation.”<\/p>\n

Recall that if Kyiv receives Tomahawk missiles, they will most likely be launched from ground-based launchers<\/a> , not ships. However, delivery and deployment will take time.<\/p>\n

The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that Vladimir Putin is deliberately sending signals to Donald Trump’s team, trying to disrupt the transfer of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.<\/a> According to analysts, the Kremlin is simultaneously threatening to “destroy relations” and devaluing the effectiveness of these weapons, seeking to persuade Washington to make concessions and maintain a secure rear on its territory.<\/p>\n

As reported, during a closed meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly , President Volodymyr Zelensky allegedly asked US President Donald Trump to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Earlier, US Vice President J.D. Vance noted that discussions are ongoing in Washington regarding the possible supply of these high-precision missiles<\/a> , but the final decision remains with the president. <\/p>\n
