U. S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg said that the question of whether Kyiv will receive Tomahawk cruise missiles remains open.

Kellogg noted there had been no official comment either confirming or denying such a decision. What has been repeated in public statements, he explained, is that the missiles have been requested — a detail that the global press quickly picked up.

He added that the heightened attention to the Tomahawk issue stems from the characteristics and capabilities of the system itself. Kellogg described the Tomahawk as one of the most advanced and effective products of the U.S. defense industry. He reminded that when the United States launches military strikes anywhere in the world, they are most often carried out using Tomahawk missiles.

According to Kellogg, the final decision on whether to supply Tomahawks to Ukraine can only be made by President Donald Trump.

Earlier, U. S. Vice President J. D. Vance told reporters that the White House administration is discussing the possible transfer of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv.

The request for Tomahawks was made by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky during his meeting with Donald Trump on September 23 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
