The U.S. is considering a game-changing move in Ukraine's defense strategy: supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles through European allies, Vice President JD Vance revealed Sunday. With a striking range of 2,500 km, these missiles could help Ukraine counter relentless Russian attacks that recently killed four and injured 80 in a 12-hour barrage. 💥
Zelenskyy's Bold Request
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked Washington to sell Tomahawks to European partners for transfer to Kyiv. 'We're looking at European requests,' Vance told Fox News, adding that President Donald Trump will make the final call. Trump, who previously blocked long-range missile use, has reportedly grown frustrated with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Missile Math & Midnight Strikes
Russia's latest attack involved nearly 600 drones and dozens of missiles targeting seven regions. Zelenskyy vowed retaliation, accusing Moscow of wanting to 'continue fighting and killing.' Meanwhile, the Kremlin dismissed talks of peace negotiations, claiming 'no signals' from Kyiv. 🤝❌
As global eyes turn to Washington's next move, one question lingers: Could Tomahawks shift the battlefield calculus? Stay tuned. 🔍
