US President Donald Trump signaled a major escalation in support for Kyiv, saying Ukraine could retake all occupied territories and revealing plans to supply it with Tomahawk cruise missiles for deep strikes against Russian targets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that military-technical support for Ukraine has never stopped, despite statements from White House officials and media reports. This assistance includes intelligence sharing and other forms of defense cooperation.<\/p>\n

The United States is pursuing a policy of de facto isolation of the Russian Federation<\/strong> across the post-Soviet space. This strategy encompasses developments in the Caucasus, the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Washington\u2019s growing influence in Kazakhstan \u2014 a CSTO member state. Notably, Kazakhstan recently increased oil production in defiance of OPEC decisions, a move that triggered a drop in global prices and inflicted multi-billion-dollar losses on Russia. Similar dynamics can be observed in Belarus, Moldova, and other regional arenas. Ukraine remains a central element of this broader U.S. approach, at a time when the Russian Federation is demonstrably weakened.<\/p>\n

Even an analysis of Ukraine\u2019s successful precision strikes<\/strong> on oil refineries and legitimate military targets inside Russia reveals that such operations would have been impossible without intelligence support \u2014 particularly in real time. The White House has remained consistent in this policy, even amid the ongoing government shutdown in the United States, which could theoretically have affected military-technical cooperation with Ukraine. What truly matters are Washington\u2019s actions<\/strong>, not its statements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This consistency is underscored by several recent developments:
\u2013 The redeployment of the U.S. nuclear arsenal to the United Kingdom<\/strong> for the first time since 2008.
\u2013 The repositioning of nuclear submarines<\/strong> closer to Russian waters.
\u2013 The flight of B-2 strategic bombers<\/strong> over the Russian dictator\u2019s route during his visit to Alaska for talks with President Trump.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the deployment of U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon<\/strong> maritime patrol aircraft to Northern Europe \u2014 capable of anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, and reconnaissance missions \u2014 comes as NATO strengthens defenses in the Baltic region amid Russian threats to undersea cables, pipelines, and suspicious drone activity.<\/p>\n

The continued deployment of U.S. military assets in support of NATO, including destroyers operating near Russia\u2019s Arctic region in late August<\/strong>, marks a clear shift in President Donald Trump\u2019s stance on the Russia-Ukraine war. Moreover, a state-of-the-art U.S. aircraft carrier<\/strong> currently stationed off the coast of Denmark sends Moscow an unmistakable signal \u2014 both amid rising tensions in the Baltic Sea and in European airspace.<\/p>\n

Therefore, claims that the United States has not altered the nature of its practical actions against Russia are utterly false<\/strong>. Such assertions are a fabrication<\/strong> \u2014 and quite possibly the product of disinformation campaigns backed by Russian intelligence services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

When it comes to further U.S. actions in support of Ukraine, intelligence sharing continues \u2014 24\/7, in real time.<\/strong> Moreover, Washington is expanding the range of American-made weapons<\/strong> available to Kyiv, including systems capable of striking targets on Russian territory.<\/p>\n

A key development is the potential transfer of ERAM missiles<\/strong> with a range of up to 450 kilometers<\/strong>. Crucially, the expected number \u2014 3,300 units<\/strong> \u2014 represents a scale unprecedented in this war. Compared with ATACMS missiles<\/strong>, which have a 300-kilometer range, this would mark a revolutionary leap<\/strong> in Ukraine\u2019s long-range strike capabilities. The possible delivery of Tomahawk or Barracuda missiles<\/strong>, with slightly shorter ranges, would further strengthen Ukraine\u2019s ability to exert pressure on Russia \u2014 and may serve as a compelling incentive for Moscow to seek peace.<\/p>\n

The United States has not merely altered its rhetoric toward Russia; it has shifted to a policy of intense military and political pressure<\/strong>. By labeling Russia a \u201cpaper tiger,\u201d<\/strong> President Trump has made clear his view of Moscow\u2019s diminished standing on the global stage.<\/p>\n

It was, in essence, a public humiliation. Trump bluntly stated: \u201cI\u2019m tired of Putin \u2014 tired of his empty promises.\u201d<\/em> Such language reflects not just a change in tone, but a fundamental shift in policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Ukrainians should be cautioned against expecting rapid changes on the front lines<\/strong> following the arrival of American weapons. There will be no new Wunderwaffe<\/em> \u2014 no mythical \u201cwonder weapon.\u201d The Tomahawks will indeed undermine Russia\u2019s logistics and energy infrastructure<\/strong>, but they will not single-handedly deliver a victory parade on Red Square this winter.<\/p>\n

Reacting to President Trump\u2019s statement that the decision to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv has been made \u201cto a certain extent,\u201d<\/strong> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov<\/strong> urged patience, saying that Moscow would await more concrete signals from Washington.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs for arms deliveries,\u201d Peskov remarked, \u201cthey usually happen first, and statements come later \u2014 at least that\u2019s how it was under the Biden administration. We\u2019ll see how it is this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
