The limited number of long-range missiles and sporadic strikes won\u2019t turn the tide of the conflict, the paper reported, citing officials<\/strong><\/p>\n

US officials believe that supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range missiles would not significantly shift the battlefield in Kiev’s favor, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing sources.<\/p>\n

US Vice President J.D. Vance announced that Washington was considering a Ukrainian request for Tomahawks, which have a range of 2,500km and cost an estimated $1.3 million each, and could potentially reach Moscow and far beyond.<\/p>\n

FT sources familiar with the matter confirmed that US President Donald Trump is considering the idea. However, a US official told the paper that some people inside Trump’s inner circle believe Tomahawks are unlikely to change the battlefield situation.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think a limited number of Tomahawks or sporadic deep strikes into Russia will change [President Vladimir] Putin’s mind,”<\/em> an FT source said.<\/p>\n

Separately, Washington is preparing to provide Ukraine with enhanced intelligence to guide long-range missile and drone strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, a move described by the FT as an “escalation”<\/em> of US support intended to help Kiev map Russian air defenses and plan strike routes.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has long conducted strikes deep into Russia targeting energy facilities, critical infrastructure, and residential areas, sometimes with civilian casualties. Russia has retaliated by attacking military-related infrastructure, insisting that it never targets civilians.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Putin warned that supplying Ukraine with Tomahawks would represent a major escalation, notably because it is “impossible”<\/em> for Kiev to use the missiles “without the direct participation of American military personnel.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

He further cautioned that the move would be detrimental to Russia-US relations, which he said have shown potential for improvement in recent months.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on reports of US plans to enhance data gathering support for Kiev, noting that Washington already “transmits intelligence to Ukraine on a regular basis online.”<\/em>

“The supply and use of the entire infrastructure of NATO and the US to collect and transfer intelligence to Ukrainians is obvious,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
