President Trump has hinted at the possibility of allowing the sale of U.S.-made Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, a move that could dramatically expand Kyiv's ability to strike targets deep within Russia. This suggestion comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky prepares for a visit to the White House, and as Russia issues stern warnings that such a transfer would mark a dangerous escalation in the conflict.

The U.S. Defense Department has plans ready should Trump authorize the sale, but significant logistical and strategic hurdles remain, including Ukraine's lack of suitable launchers and concerns about provoking direct confrontation with Russia. European allies have stepped up their support for Ukraine, funding billions in American arms and equipment, while Trump believes the threat of advanced weaponry could pressure Russia toward negotiations.

Trump's approach follows his recent diplomatic efforts in Gaza, where he brokered a peace deal after intense military pressure. The prospect of sending Tomahawks to Ukraine has sparked debate among international experts, with some viewing it as a coordinated campaign to increase leverage on Russia, while others warn of the risks of escalation and potential nuclear threats.

As tensions rise, Trump has expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin's refusal to compromise, suggesting that economic pressures and the threat of advanced U.S. weapons may force Russia to reconsider its position in the ongoing war.
