Russia’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Andrei Kelin, has issued a stark warning to President Donald Trump, cautioning him against sending Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
Kelin said that while the plan to send Tomahawks is still under discussion in Washington, such a move “will not change the situation on the battlefield.” However, he delivered a chilling follow-up:
“We will have to react very seriously.”
He warned that Russia would treat the deployment of these missiles especially if launched with U.S. assistance as a major escalation.
This statement follows similar warnings from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who described the potential transfer as an “extremely dangerous move,” and former President Dmitry Medvedev, who went even further, saying:
“The delivery of these missiles could end badly for everyone and first of all, for Trump himself.”
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has confirmed that he and Vladimir Putin plan to meet in Hungary to discuss ending what he called the “inglorious war” between Russia and Ukraine.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump revealed:
“At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our high-level advisors next week, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
President Putin and I will then meet in Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this ‘inglorious’ war to an end.”
Before that summit, Trump is expected to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House to discuss the Tomahawk proposal and broader U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.
Zelenskyy described his earlier phone call with Trump as “very productive,” saying that the U.S. president was “well-informed about everything that is happening.”
As the diplomatic maneuvering intensifies, all eyes are now on whether Trump will go ahead with supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles a move that could allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory, and possibly redefine the next phase of the war.
