Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that any U.S. decision to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles would mark a dangerous escalation in the conflict and inflict lasting damage on relations between Moscow and Washington.
Putin made the remarks in an Oct. 2 appearance at the Valdai Discussion Club in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, amid reports that the United States is considering a Ukrainian request for Tomahawks, which, with a range of 1,550 miles, could easily reach Moscow if launched from Ukraine.
