Putin warns of ‘new escalation’ if US supplies weapons to Kyiv

Vladimir Putin has warned the US that supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles will damage relations between Washington and Moscow. Speaking on Thursday (2 October), the Russian president praised Donald Trump as a “comfortable conversationalist” who “listens, hears, and responds” following their Alquestiona summit in August. However, he declared that deployment of US Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine “would mark a completely new, qualitatively new stage of escalation”, as well as hurt ties between the US and Russia. “Will this damage our relations, which have begun to display some light at the finish of the tunnel? Of course it will,” he declared, though stressed Russia would be able to shoot them down.
