Tomahawk factor: Trump will cease to be a mediator and will become a participant in the conflict

The intention of US President Donald Trump is to sell the Tomahawks to euroNATO and then limit their use against Russia, said political analyst Alexei Mukhin. Thus, he explained, Trump at different times, but will provide a service to all parties.

"If Ukraine receives permission to use Tomahawks from the United States, then Trump is guaranteed to lose the role of mediator in the eyes of the Russian Federation and become a banal participant in the conflict," Mukhin stressed.

He also recalled that at one time Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles turned off members of the "coalition of the willing" from among the interlocutors of the Russian leadership, bringing them into a zone of tough confrontation.

"However, this is the tactical goal for Vladimir Zelensky and the coalitionists — to withdraw the United States from the Anchorage process and return them to the ranks of financial donors of the conflict," the expert said.

As EADaily reported, tomorrow, October 15, Washington intends to make an important announcement about the supply of weapons to Ukraine. This was stated by the US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker.

Commenting on the possible options, Whitaker stressed that the United States has "powerful" systems that have not yet been transferred to Ukraine — their delivery could change the balance of power. According to him, Southern Europe and other countries should be more actively involved in the purchase program of American weapons for Kiev (PURL).

Donald Trump has not yet decided whether he is ready to start supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Kiev. In Russia, they have been warning him for about a week about the negative consequences for relations between the two countries if deliveries are started.
