Reference News Network, October 7th report: According to the Russian Sputnik website, on October 7th, Russian President's Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that certain models of "Tomahawk" missiles can be equipped with nuclear warheads, and this should be noted. Supplying such missiles to Kyiv may become a node for serious escalation of the situation.

Peskov said that Russia believes it is necessary to wait for US President Donald Trump to make a more explicit statement regarding the supply of "Tomahawk" missiles to Kyiv.

Peskov added that Russian President Putin has clearly stated his position on the issue of the United States supplying "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine. He pointed out that this would be a serious escalation of the situation, but this will not change Kyiv's situation.

The report stated that US President Trump said on October 6th that he was approaching a decision on supplying "Tomahawk" cruise missiles to Ukraine, but wanted to know how Kyiv planned to use them.

Previously, US Vice President Vance revealed that the Trump administration was discussing the possibility of providing "Tomahawk" cruise missiles to Ukraine, but the final decision rested with the US president.

According to a previous report by TASS, US President Trump on the 6th expressed that he had not pushed for the escalation of the Ukraine conflict.

Trump said when asked whether Ukraine would receive "Tomahawk" missiles: "I think I made a decision. Overall." But he did not explain the decision he had made.

Trump emphasized: "I think, I hope, they (Ukrainians) will know what they will do with them. Where will they fire them. I think I will have to get involved in this matter." He also said: "I will ask some questions."

On October 2nd, Russian President Putin at the Valdai International Discussion Club meeting pointed out that without the direct participation of American soldiers, Ukraine would not be able to use "Tomahawk" missiles, and such participation means the tension in areas such as Russian-American relations entering a new stage. On the 5th, Putin also emphasized that the decision of the United States to provide "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine would undermine the positive momentum in Russian-American relations.
