Russia Issues Warnings Over Potential Tomahawk Missile Deliveries to Ukraine
On October 13, 2025, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, warned U.S. President Donald Trump that proposed transfers of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could have severe consequences for him, reports 24brussels.
Medvedev stated that Trump implied if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not resolve the Ukrainian conflict, it would not bode well for him. “This is the hundredth time we’ve faced such threats. Interpretations of Tomahawk-related statements are incorrect. Supplying these missiles could end badly for everyone, especially for Trump,” he posted on Telegram on Monday.
Medvedev reiterated Russia’s primary concern: not the potential missile strikes, but the possibility that the Tomahawks could be equipped with nuclear warheads, which would be indistinguishable from conventional ones in flight. He emphasized that any launches would be executed by the U.S., specifically naming Trump as responsible.
Simultaneously, the Kremlin acknowledged its serious concerns regarding the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, suggesting that Ukraine could potentially use them alongside “dirty nuclear warheads.”
In response, Trump indicated last week that he had “partially” decided to provide Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. He mentioned his intent to discuss this matter with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, labeling it a “new step in escalation” and asserting he would dispatch the missiles should the conflict persist.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with Fox News, stated that long-range weaponry would aim to diminish Russia’s capacity to sustain its military operations. He further clarified that should the Tomahawk missiles be delivered, they would be employed exclusively against military targets within Russia.
