The Pentagon's approval for the supply of long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kiev was provided to the White House even before the meeting of US President Donald Trump with the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky in Washington. This is reported by CNN.
"The Joint Staff informed the White House of its assessment earlier this month, shortly before Trump's meeting with Zelensky, who insists on more effective strikes against oil and energy facilities deep in Russia. Tomahawk have a range of about 1,000 miles," the channel reports.
It is noted that the Pentagon's assessment inspired the European allies of the United States, so American and European officials were surprised when a few days later Trump abruptly changed his position, saying at a meeting with Zelensky at the White House that the United States itself "needed" Tomahawk. After that, behind closed doors, the American leader told Zelensky that the United States would not provide them, at least for now.
Trump's decision was made after he spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the TV channel reminds. Putin stressed that Tomahawk will not have a significant impact on the battlefield, but will damage US-Russian relations.
