Trump administration may not send Tomahawks to Ukraine - Reuters

Investing.com -- The Trump administration’s plan to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles faces significant obstacles due to current inventory commitments, according to a report from Reuters, citing U.S. official and three sources familiar with the matter.

Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that Washington was considering a Ukrainian request for Tomahawk missiles, which have a range of 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) and could strike deep into Russian territory, including Moscow.

While the U.S. official emphasized there is no shortage of the cruise missiles, which are frequently used for land attack missions, they indicated that Tomahawks are unlikely to be sent to Ukraine as current inventories are committed to the U.S. Navy and other uses.

Instead, the administration may explore allowing European allies to purchase other long-range weapons to supply to Ukraine, or provide Kyiv with shorter-range alternatives.
