Russia’s Kremlin says that if Ukraine wants US Tomahawk weapons, it must be scared

The Kremlin said on Thursday that if Kyiv asked the US to send it long-range Tomahawk missiles, it was clear that the country’s leaders were worried about Russian gains along the front line.

The New York Times said that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had asked the US for Tomahawk missiles. These missiles have a range of 2,500 km (1,550 miles), which is much farther than any missiles that Ukraine presently has.

In a video posted on Wednesday, Zelenskiy made it sound very likely that Kyiv had made such a request.

According to Dmitry Peskov, a spokeswoman for the Kremlin, the mood on the front lines of the war was clear. In the last three months, Russia has made the most progress in two years.

“Against the background of this dynamic, the Kyiv regime is beginning to show considerable nervousness,” he noted.

The New York Times said Zelenskiy asked the U.S. to give the Tomahawks as part of the “victory plan” he gave earlier this month. At the time, he said that some parts of the plan were secret.

Peskov said that Ukraine’s plans, whether they are secret or not, “boil down to Kyiv dragging Western countries into the war up to their ears as quickly as possible and making it legal.” This is the end goal of all of these tricks. This is how we see it.
