Putin threatens US over possible delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine

According to Putin, supplying these missiles to Ukraine would lead to the "destruction of positive trends in relations between Russia and the United States." Moreover, he said that he had discussed the issue of supplying weapons to Ukraine with US President Donald Trump.

"Just now you mentioned the US president. There were also issues related, let’s say, to discussing the problems of supplying new weapons systems, including long-range, high-precision systems — these are the Tomahawks. I have already said that this will lead to the destruction of our relations, at least the positive tendencies that have appeared in them. So I’m saying what I think. And how it will develop depends not only on us and not only on me," the Russian leader said.
