The robots would in such cases be of the type Tomahawk. Trump says that he has spoken with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyj about "possibly" sending the weapons system to Ukraine.
We may not do it, but we can do it. I think it is suitable to bring it up, says Donald Trump.
Russia's president Vladimir Putin has previously warned the USA about supplying Ukraine with the cruise missile Tomahawk. He has, among other things, said that it would mean a significant escalation and affect the relationship between Washington and Moscow.
Do they want Tomahawks directed at them? I do not think so, says Trump.
I think I should talk to Russia about this.
The Kremlin's spokesperson Dmitrij Peskov has in statements published on Sunday stated that "the issue of Tomahawk is very disturbing".
Tomahawk robots are estimated to have a range of up to 250 miles. With the weapon, Ukraine could direct robot attacks against, among other things, several more Russian oil facilities or against air bases further into the country, from which Russia carries out its largest attacks.
