Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that if the U.S. supplies Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles, that ‘could end badly for everyone … most of all, for Trump himself,’ according to a Google translation of his Russian-language Telegram post.
‘It’s been said a hundred times, in a manner understandable even to the star-spangled man, that it’s impossible to distinguish a nuclear Tomahawk missile from a conventional one in flight,’ Russian Security Council deputy chair Medvedev noted.
While speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, President Donald Trump raised the prospect of supplying Ukraine with the long-range weapons if the Russia-Ukraine war is not going to be settled.
The U.S. commander-in-chief described Tomahawks as a ‘very offensive weapon,’ noting, ‘honestly, Russia does not need that.’
Trump has been seeking to help broker peace between the two warring foreign nations.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.
During an appearance on the Fox News Channel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that Tomahawks would be utilized for ‘only military goals,’ asserting that Ukraine never attacks Russian civilians.
