The aggressor country russia is waiting for clarity from the United States on the possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, as these weapons can theoretically carry nuclear warheads. It was reported by Reuters on Tuesday, October 7.
Journalists took a comment from russian dictator rutin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov on the statement of US President Donald Trump, who announced the decision to transfer Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
"We understand that we need to wait, probably, for clearer statements, if any come. If we abstract from various nuances, we're talking about missiles that could also be nuclear-capable. Therefore, this is truly a serious round of escalation," Peskov said.
According to him, the previous US president, Joe Biden, announced the supply of new weapons to Ukraine only after they had already been left behind.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on October 7, US President Donald Trump said that he had actually made a decision to supply Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
On September 28, US Vice President J.D. Vance said that the United States was considering the possibility of transferring Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
On September 26, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked US President Donald Trump to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles.
