“Moscow will consider deliveries of Tomahawk missiles to the Kiev regime as a hostile action that would significantly increase the risks to global security” warned on Friday the Sergey Naryskin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

“If that happens, Russia will consider this move as hostile. And such a step, if implemented, will certainly significantly increase security risks – not only in Europe, but also in global security”he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the Council of Chief Security and Special Services of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

“This issue, at least in part, was discussed yesterday (Thursday) during a telephone conversation between the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States of America”added the head of the SVR according to the TASS agency.

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump, after a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said they agreed to meet soon in Budapest. Trump also noted that the US cannot deplete its own stockpile of Tomahawk cruise missiles by supplying them to Ukraine. He confirmed that the issue of Tomahawk deliveries to Kyiv had been discussed with his Russian counterpart.

On Friday, Trump plans to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Earlier, the US president said that on October 17, Zelensky will ask him to supply Tomahawks to Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky hopes his meeting with President Trump at the White House on Friday will lead to clear decisions from the US on what weapons systems it is willing to provide, the Ukrainian president’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, told Axios.

“I think we need decisions that will help change Putin’s attitude that he is in a strong position. He must understand that with President Trump it is impossible to play games.” said Germak characteristically.

Zelensky, who arrived in Washington on Thursday afternoon, has been very optimistic in recent days about his planned meeting with Trump and the president’s willingness to supply long-range Tomahawk missiles.

But shortly after landing at Andrews Air Force Base, the Ukrainian president and his team were surprised to see Trump announce that he had spoken to Vladimir Putin and agreed to meet him in Hungary – the least Ukraine-friendly country in the European Union.
