Russia Says it Does Not Believe US Has Taken Decision on Supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk Missiles

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow did not believe that Washington had taken a final decision on supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.

US Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that Washington was considering a Ukrainian request for Tomahawks, Reuters reported.

Lavrov said that US talk about the matter looked like it was the result of pressure from Europe and that Washington wanted to show it was taking its allies’ opinions into account.

Russia said on Monday that its military was analysing whether the United States would supply Tomahawks to Ukraine for strikes deep into Russia, a step that Russian officials say could trigger a steep escalation.
