Ukraine is seeking to acquire US Tomahawk cruise missiles, which would enable it to strike deep into Russian territory, thereby enhancing its military capabilities amidst the ongoing conflict. Although the Tomahawk has been a reliable asset for the US military for over four decades, experts caution that it is not a “wonder weapon” that could decisively change the war’s outcome. The potential delivery is seen as a significant political gesture by the US, signaling support for Ukraine and escalating tensions with Russia. The supply of Tomahawks, however, raises concerns about a new level of confrontation, as Russia warns against the implications of such military aid, framing it as an escalation in US-Russian relations.
