WP: Trump Is Considering Supplying Ukraine With Tomahawk Missiles That Would Reach Moscow And St. Petersburg

They were used against targets in Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump is considering sending Ukraine Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles, the same weapon that was launched against Iranian targets last month.

According to a column for The Washington Post, journalist David Ignatius writes.

If Tomahawk are launched from Ukraine, they could hit Moscow and St. Petersburg. The issue of likely deliveries of these missiles was discussed as recently as Friday. However, senior interlocutors say the Tomahawks have been excluded from the supply list for now.

"They could be deployed later if Trump wants even more leverage," Ignatius added.
