The Pentagon has approved the transfer of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, but the final decision remains with U.S. President Donald Trump. This was reported by CNN with reference to its sources, cites Baltimore Chronicle with a link to CNN.
According to journalists, the U.S. Department of Defense concluded that supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles would not pose risks to American military stockpiles. Consequently, the Pentagon officially cleared the path for potential delivery of this weaponry to Kyiv.
CNN also notes that President Donald Trump has not removed the issue of missile transfer from the agenda. The White House administration has already developed a plan to enable rapid shipment of Tomahawk missiles if a positive decision is made.
Earlier, Axios reported that on October 12, the presidents of Ukraine and the United States held a phone conversation discussing the potential sale of Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv. During the call, the leaders addressed the number of units Ukraine might need.
The following day, on October 13, Donald Trump told reporters he could authorize the transfer of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russia refuses to end the war. At the same time, he noted he might discuss the matter directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
