Moscow made a desperate threat Wednesday that it would shoot down all Tomahawk cruise missiles and destroy their launch sites if the US commits to supplying the powerful, long-range weapons to Ukraine that could obliterate Russian oil refineries and military bases.
Andrei Kartapolov, head of the Russian parliament’s defense committee, feverishly advised President Trump to keep the missiles — that have far more range than any others sent so far by Western allies — out of Ukraine.
“Our response will be tough, ambiguous, measured, and asymmetrical,” Kartapolov told the state RIA news agency. “We will find ways to hurt those who cause us trouble.”
