Russian dictator Vladimir Putin called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement that Ukraine would still receive long-range weapons - Tomahawk - an attempt at escalation, reports UNN.
"This is an attempt at escalation. If such weapons (Tomahawk - ed.) are used to strike Russian territory, the response will be very serious, if not overwhelming," Putin said.

On Wednesday, October 22, the WSJ reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump had lifted a key ban on Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles to strike Russia.
US President Donald Trump denied reports of an alleged lifting of restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles provided by Western allies.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine uses only its own weapons, not American ones, to strike Russian territory. He noted that Ukrainian long-range capabilities range from 150 to 3,000 km.
