Putin Convince Trump: New Details on Tomahawk Missile Supply to Ukraine

The Wall Street Journal reports that during a phone call on October 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin convinced U.S. President Donald Trump not to supply Tomahawk-type missiles to Ukraine. According to the newspaper, Putin stated that the transfer of additional weaponry would not change the situation on the battlefield, but could seriously damage U.S.-Russia relations.

Sources from WSJ indicate that this warning played a decisive role in Washington's decision. Considering potential escalations in the relationship, Trump backed away from the supply plan for Tomahawk missiles.
