OR Russia Raising the tones again: Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned on Thursday (02.10.2025) of a “dangerous escalation” if the US decides to supply the Ukraine With Tomahawk rockets. He stressed that Moscow would react “properly” if US President Donald Trump gives the green light to Volodimir Zelenski’s request.
The Tomahawk Cruise Rockets, which the Donald Trump He considers to hand over to Kiev, they have the opportunity to hurt goals deep in Russian territory, which, according to Peskov, would radically change the nature of the conflict. “If this happens, it will be a new round of tension that will require a symmetrical response from the Russian side,” he said, adding that “there is no magic weapon that can radically overthrow the course of events in Ukraine.”
High -risk decision for Washington
The Trump administration is currently considering the Ukrainian request. Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the file is under study: “The president will make the final decision. We are considering this request like others, “he told Fox News.
Zelenski and his western allies believe that the mission of large range rockets, combined with stricter sanctions, is necessary to increase pressure on Moscow and to be forced into a peace agreement. However, such a decision could cause uncontrolled escalation and bring Russia and NATO dangerously close to an immediate confrontation.
Collision frozen in two key points
In addition to the military side, peace negotiations remain blocked on two critical issues: the territorial delimitation and the future security architecture of Ukraine.
Moscow requires the recognition of the territories it has attached, something that Kiev and its European partners reject. Russia also rejects any idea of NATO’s peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, arguing that Kiev’s ambitions to join the alliance are a “root of the problem”.
On the other hand, Kiev insists that as a sovereign state it has an exclusive right to its security decisions and that the Ukraine Constitution does not allow for territories.
