Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has commented on the possible delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
He was quoted by Russian media, reports Censor.NET.
"Russia’s response to talks about transferring Tomahawks to Kyiv is to strengthen its air defense system," Putin said.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, in an interview with Fox News, said that discussions are underway within President Donald Trump’s administration about the potential provision of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
