US Envoy Kellogg backs away from reports of Tomahawks for Ukraine

US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg says that his previous comments about the possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine do not reflect internal decisions in Washington. He stresses that the use of these missiles could significantly change the course of the war, The Guardian reports.
Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, Kellogg stresses that he was only referring to public statements about providing Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles and had no inside information about the process or the final decision.
At the same time, he emphasizes the importance of Tomahawks, calling them a "very advanced missile system."
The US Special Envoy also notes that if their use is authorized, it will "change the dynamics of any military conflict" because it will add another level of "uncertainty" due to their capabilities.
The day before, Kellogg said that no decision had yet been made on the potential provision of Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine and that the final word rests solely with US President Donald Trump.
Tomahawk for Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently called on the US in New York to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles capable of striking targets at a distance of 900 to 1,500 miles.
The Trump administration is considering providing these missiles, as well as other long-range weapons.
This was reported to the WSJ by senior American and European officials familiar with these plans.
However, Washington has not yet responded to a request for comment on this issue.
Over the past year, Kyiv has repeatedly raised the issue of Tomahawk missile supplies. Ukraine included them in the list of weapons it requested several months ago.
Former US leader Joe Biden refused to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. They were part of Zelenskyy's 10-point Plan for Victory.
This move was considered too risky, as the missiles could reach Moscow, which would lead to an escalation of the conflict.
