President Donald Trump is laying down the gauntlet to Russia during his trip to Israel, hinting that he might send long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if the conflict doesn't come to a swift resolution. His remarks signal a potential escalation in U.S. involvement in the ongoing battle, especially after a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy where they discussed enhancing Ukraine's military capabilities.

Trump stated, 'If this war is not going to get settled, I’m going to send them Tomahawks,' and stressed the advanced nature of the weapon, suggesting that Russia should consider the implication of such a move.

This warning coincides with Russia's recent attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, aiming to weaken the country's resilience as winter approaches. U.S. officials have been cautious about deploying such powerful weaponry despite Ukraine's pleas for more tools to defend against Russian aggression.

In a significant change from previous positions, Trump now believes Ukraine could reclaim all territories lost to Russia, reflecting a newfound assertiveness in his approach to the conflict. This shift has raised hopes in Kyiv that stronger measures will be taken to pressure Moscow into negotiations.
