Trump says he's 'sort of made' decision on supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Kremlin responds

The Russian propaganda agency INTERFAX.RU reported the information.

When asked to comment on the statement by U.S. President Donald Trump that the decision to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine has practically been made, the press secretary of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, stated: "We understand that we probably need to wait for clearer statements, if they follow."

He emphasized that in cases of arms supplies, the transfer happens first, "and then the statements are made."

"At least, that's how it has always been under the Biden administration, we know this well. This time, we'll see. As for Moscow's position, it was very unequivocally stated by Putin at the Valdai discussion club: everything was clearly stated there — this is a serious round of escalation, which at the same time will not be able to change the state of affairs on the fronts for the Kyiv regime," Peskov said.

Putin's press secretary noted that "we are talking about missiles, if we abstract from various nuances, which can also be nuclear-capable."

"Therefore, this is indeed a serious round of escalation," Peskov added.

"I sort of made a decision pretty much," Trump said, responding to a journalist's question about whether he had approved the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

At the same time, the U.S. president added that before making a final decision, he would like to know exactly how these missiles would be used.

“I will ask some questions. I am not looking to see escalation,” Trump assured.
