Zelensky Says Ukraine Won’t Strike Civilians if U.S. Provides Tomahawk Missiles
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has affirmed that, if the U.S. provides Tomahawk missiles, Ukraine would use them only against military targets and not attack Russian civilians. He stated this in response to questions about long-range weapons and stressed that Ukraine “never attacked their civilians.”
U.S. Consideration
The United States is reportedly considering supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are capable of striking deep into enemy territory. However, U.S. officials say any decision will depend on how Ukraine intends to use them.
Reactions and Concerns
Russia has expressed strong opposition, warning that supplying such missiles would escalate the war to a “new level.” The Kremlin has voiced “extreme concern” about the possibility of U.S. direct involvement.
Some international observers caution that deployment of long-range missiles could provoke stronger Russian retaliation and further complicate the conflict.
