Consequences of Tomahawk missiles in Ukraine?
Asked 3 hours ago
Answer
Providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could allow strikes deep into Russian territory, raising fears of escalation and damaging US-Russia relations. European NATO countries would be involved in the transfer, potentially entangling Europe further in the conflict. Russia warns this could destroy positive trends in relations with the US.
