Donald Trump has floated the sale of US-made Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, a move that could bolster Kyiv’s long-range strike capability against Russian targets and potentially alter the course of the war.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Moscow on Wednesday that the United States and its allies would "impose costs on Russia for its continued aggression" if the war in Ukraine does not come to an end.
