Russian MP: Supplying Ukrainian army with Tomahawk missiles could cause triple harm

The transfer of US Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine will not change the situation on the battlefield, but could cause “ triple harm“ – harm relations between Russia and the US, the prospects for resolving the Ukrainian conflict and global security. This was stated today by Russian Senator Alexey Pushkov, TASS news agency reported, quoted by Focus.

"The US could transfer up to 50 Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This is precisely the case in which the situation on the battlefield will not change for Ukraine, but the total harm could be enormous and triple: to the prospects for resolving the Ukrainian crisis; to relations between Washington and Moscow; and global security, as such a delivery would inevitably lead to a new level of escalation“, he wrote in his Telegram.

The senator added that US President Donald Trump can now either carry out his threat and harm the cause of peace, or choose a rational solution.

On October 6, Trump announced that he had effectively made a decision on the possibility of transferring Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, but did not explain what this decision was. He said that before making a final decision on transferring the missiles to Kiev, he would probably have to discuss the issue with the Ukrainian side.
