Because at one time there was hysteria and joy when we received the first Javelins, then we received the Bayraktars, then the F-16s, and there were hopes that this would immediately radically change the nature and course of the war,&#8221; Barna noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZzE6JtViFds?t=105<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/tomahawks-for-ukraine-is-the-us-really-ready-to-provide-new-weapons\/\">\u201cTomahawks\u201d for Ukraine: is the US really ready to provide new weapons?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;Unfortunately, I want to state that nothing much will change. Because no matter how many Tomahawks there are, there won&#8217;t be many of them, especially for a country like Russia, a huge country,&#8221; the military officer added.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, he emphasizes that diplomatic work abroad, as well as the consolidation of society and politics around this issue, is more important right now.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;As for diplomatic measures, it is obvious that they must be implemented. Today, the concentration of Ukrainian society and politics on issues of diplomatic support for Ukraine is important to us. And everyone who joins this cause, regardless of whether they are representatives of the government or the opposition, is doing an important job. And therefore it is obvious that we need such help from all countries without exception. And not only with Tomahawks, but also with everything that is capable of destroying the enemy at the front,&#8221; Stepan Barna, commander of the Barni UAV platoon of the 10th Edelweiss Rifle Brigade, summed up.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/transfer-of-tomahawks-to-ukraine-what-role-does-zelenskyys-visit-to-the-us-play\/\">Transfer of Tomahawks to Ukraine: what role does Zelenskyy&#8217;s visit to the US play?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As is known, US President Donald Trump is approaching a decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/peredacha-tomahavkiv-ukraini-iaku-rol-vidihraie-vizyt-zelenskoho-do-ssha\/\">transfer Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine<\/a> . This is not only a step in support of Kyiv &#8211; it is also aimed at exerting political pressure on the US&#8217;s European partners, in particular Germany, which is still hesitant to provide its own long-range Taurus missiles.<\/p>\n<p> However, the deployment of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, currently under consideration in Washington, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/nadto-malo-shchob-zminyty-hru-ukraini-mozhut-peredaty-lyshe-20-50-tomahawk\/\">is unlikely to have a significant impact on the course of the war<\/a> . Even if the decision is approved, it would only involve 20\u201350 weapons, which is a fairly limited resource.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Heorhiy Tykhyi, reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ukraina-i-ssha-pohodzhuiut-tekhnichni-niuansy-shchodo-mozhlyvoho-postachannia-raket-tomahawk\/\">Ukraine and the United States are negotiating<\/a> and &#8220;working to agree on all these details&#8221; regarding the possible provision of Tomahawk cruise missiles &#8211; there is currently no categorical refusal, but a detailed and active discussion about technical and organizational nuances is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky&#8217;s comments about potential strikes on Russian territory with American Tomahawk missiles. The Russian dictator said <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/putin-nazvav-pontom-zaiavy-ukrainy-pro-udary-tomahavkamy-po-rosii\/\">he saw these statements as &#8220;show-offs&#8221;<\/a> and threatened to strengthen Russia&#8217;s air defense system.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Providing Ukraine with American Tomahawk cruise missiles is unlikely to have a significant impact on the course of the war and the situation on the front lines due to the small number of such weapons.
