The Kremlin stated that Russia would respond appropriately to a possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine by the United States, according to a statement by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov emphasized that Russia would respond appropriately to the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, although he did not provide details on what exactly that would mean.
The spokesperson for Russian leader Vladimir Putin also commented on media reports claiming that the United States would allegedly provide Ukraine with intelligence for strikes deep inside Russia.
He noted that such publications "do not appear out of thin air" and even stressed that, for him, this was not news, as, according to his information, Washington had already been supplying Kyiv with real-time intelligence.
"These are media reports. However, as practice shows, they do not appear out of thin air. The United States of America provides intelligence to Ukraine on a permanent, real-time basis. This is not new. One can only assume, so to speak, what specific intelligence it is. But that the exchange of intelligence is taking place — or rather not exchange, but the supply and involvement of the entire NATO and US infrastructure for gathering and transmitting intelligence to Ukraine — that is obvious," Peskov stressed.
Earlier today, Western media reported that the United States would provide Ukraine with intelligence for missile strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure.
In addition, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently stated that US President Donald Trump supported Ukraine's right to retaliate against Russian strikes, including by targeting energy infrastructure.
The head of state stressed that Ukraine would not be weak and would respond to Russian attacks on its energy sector. Also, earlier this week, US presidential envoy Keith Kellogg stated that Trump had authorized long-range strikes on Russia.
In the same interview with Fox News, he said that the decision on supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine had not yet been made and that the final decision would rest with Trump.
