Anyone got a confirmation on this? If true, huge. But not seeing it anywhere else.

US President Donald Trump confirmed that Washington will supply Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles—under US operational control.

Beyond the headline, this move signals a turning point in Western military strategy and could reshape the security architecture of Europe, according to Army Recognition on October 7.

The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is one of the most precise and versatile long-range strike systems in the US arsenal. With a reach exceeding 1,600 kilometers, it allows deep-penetration attacks on high-value targets while flying at low altitudes that evade radar detection.

For Ukraine, this means the ability to strike Russian airbases, logistics hubs, and command posts far from the front line—targets previously considered out of reach even for Storm Shadow or ATACMS systems.

By maintaining US command authority over the missile launches, Washington ensures tight control over escalation while still enhancing Kyiv’s strategic reach. It’s a model that blends deterrence with oversight: Ukraine gains the power to hit deep behind Russian lines, but only under coordinated US authorization.

This approach may become a blueprint for future Western support—enabling advanced capabilities without relinquishing command.

According to Army Recognition, US and NATO planners are now preparing compatible ground-based launch platforms. These are likely to include modified Mk 41 Vertical Launch Systems or mobile land versions derived from the US Army’s Typhon missile program.

I've mentioned him numerous times during his service in Ukraine. But my former special forces family friend is back in Europe, he was in central America for a couple of months. He's now in another European country helping prepare and train as a consultant/advisor.

Taking with him at lunch today he says the mood and feeling in Eastern Europe is war is inevitable at this point. Many are already preparing defenses.

TIFWIW........ he's calling again Saturday, she's the Tennessee game.

BORIS JOHNSON: Trump the Gaza peacemaker must put hard word on Putin

There is still plenty that can go wrong. The remaining hostages have still not been returned. The Israelis have only just begun to withdraw from parts of Gaza.

Trump And Putin To Meet In Budapest To Seek End Of ‘Inglorious’ Ukraine War​


"I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine."


1760641774327.png
President Donald Trump said that he held a “lengthy” and “productive” phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, adding that the leaders agreed to meet in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss bringing an end to the war in Ukraine.


Trump did not say whether a date for his second meeting with Putin had been set. Next week, senior advisers from the United States and Russia will meet for discussions led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump added. The location of that meeting has not yet been determined.

Trump is scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday as the administration considers sending Ukraine long-range missiles that could be fired deeper into Russian territory. Earlier this week, Trump told reporters that he “might tell [Russia] that if the war is not settled, that we may very well, [send Tomahawks to Kyiv].”

Russia has shown no signs of ending its war against Ukraine as it continues to hammer the country following Trump’s summit with Putin in Alaska in August. In the past three weeks, Russia has pounded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, killing multiple people and — at one point — plunging Kyiv into darkness.

Zelensky has called on the US to provide Ukraine with the advanced missiles, which have a range of 2,500 km (1,500 miles).

Asked earlier this week if Trump was considering giving Ukraine Tomahawks, he said: "We'll see... I may."

But asked about the same prospect after his call with Putin, Trump said "we can't deplete" the US stockpile of Tomahawks, adding "we need them too... so I don't know what we can do about that".

Writing on his Truth Social platform after his call with Putin concluded, Trump said he and the Russian president "spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over".

Translation: Putin is attempting to bribe Trump with some sort of deal that will enable Donald and his family to benefit financially. Mob 101.
