“I have heard these statements,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov in a press conference on Monday, September 29, when asked about the statements of American vice-president JD Vance that Donald Trump analyzes Ukraine's request to receive Long-range missiles. “We analyze them carefully. Our military specialists closely monitor this,” said Peskov, quoted by Tass.
US Vice President JD Vance said Washington on Sunday analyzes Ukraine's request to obtain Tomahawk missiles, with a 2,500 km range, which could give Kiev the ability to hit Targets, including Moscow.
Peskov indirectly suggested that Russia would consider such a decision to escape the situation, through a possible US employment.
“The question, as before, is the following: who can launch these missiles …? Can I only launch them Ukrainians or have this to do this the American soldiers?” Who establishes what the target of these missiles is? The American side or only the Ukrainians? “Askov asked, emphasizing that” a very in -depth analysis “is necessary.
In any case, he added, the Tomahawk missiles will not change the rules of the game in terms of war, he wanted to highlight.
“Even if this happens, there is no panacea that can change the situation on the front for the Kiev regime at this time. There is no magic weapons, whether it is Tomahawk missiles or other missiles, they will not be able to change the dynamics,” commented the Russian official, commented
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski has asked the United States to sell Tomahawk rockets to European countries, who will then send Kiev.
Vance told Fox News on Sunday that Donald Trump is the one who will make the “final decision” on the approval or rejection of this request.
The Tomahawk rocket, with a radius of action up to 2,500 kilometers and an explosive load of 450 kilograms, significantly exceeds the capabilities of any long -range system that Ukraine has received so far from Western allies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously said that Western countries will be considered directly involved in the war if they provide data and information that will allow Ukraine to hit deep on Russia.
“Use the ability to hit deep. There are no such things like sanctuaries,” said Keith Kellogg, the US Special Submit for Ukraine, for Fox News, asked about the position of the Trump administration on Ukraine's long -range kicks in Russia.
