Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s request for Tomahawk missiles from the United States faces significant obstacles, according to reports. Responsible Statecraft magazine stated on October 1 that Ukraine lacks the capacity to deploy these weapons, citing insufficient American stockpiles and the strategic value of existing systems. The publication noted that transferring Tomahawks would require U.S. support for reconnaissance and targeting, posing heightened risks given the potential for escalation. The Pentagon reportedly views the missiles as too critical to share, emphasizing the complexity of their operational requirements.
