President Donald Trump said Oct. 6 that he has “pretty much” made a decision on whether to supply Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles and made clear he does not want the Russia–Ukraine war to escalate.

Tomahawk missiles have a range of about 1,000 miles, according to Raytheon, which would allow Ukraine to strike targets as far away as Moscow if equipped with the U.S.-made weapons.
