"On Point"
MINSK, 21 October (BelTA) – Russian political scientist and orientalist Karine Gevorgyan explained why supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine is not in the U.S. interests in the latest episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA's YouTube channel.
The expert doubts that the United States will dare to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. She explained that the USA would have no way to control what warheads these missiles are equipped with. And what if it turned out that the Ukrainian military had armed a Tomahawk with a nuclear warhead?
“Can Trump control what the Tomahawks are armed with? That is the real key question. I think he cannot. He and the entire U.S. state don’t give a damn about it, as they say. Even Trump’s opponents wouldn’t dare to do this,” Karine Gevorgyan believes.
As was reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump had a telephone conversation on 16 October. The heads of state also discussed Tomahawks. Vladimir Putin made it clear that U.S. missiles would not change the situation on the battlefield but would damage USA-Russia relations. The main outcome of the negotiations is the decision to hold an in-person meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Budapest.
The following day, on 17 October, the U.S. leader hosted Vladimir Zelensky at the White House. During the meeting, the U.S. president admitted that allowing Kiev to use U.S. arms for long-range strikes would lead to an escalation. Donald Trump stated that he is seeking a long-term settlement of the conflict.
