US War Department vows to impose costs on Russia over Ukraine
US War Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the US is ready to impose costs on Russia over the Ukraine conflict. He emphasized that if the war continues without peace, the US and its allies will take necessary steps against Russia. President Trump mentioned he might provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles if the war doesn’t end, marking a new escalation.
These missiles could strike targets up to 2,500 km away, potentially threatening Russian cities. Russian officials have accused Ukraine of planning to use the missiles for attacks to escalate the conflict. Moscow blames Ukraine for stalling peace talks and hopes Trump can encourage Ukraine to engage more in the peace process.
