According to Reuters, TASS and other foreign media reports on the 5th, Russian President Putin in an interview with Russian journalist Zarubin said that if the United States provided Ukraine with "tacks" missiles for the implementation of long-range strikes on Russia, it would cause the relationship between Moscow and Washington to break.

"This will lead to the rupture of our relations, or at least undermine the positive momentum that has emerged in the relations between the two countries," Putin said in an interview video released by Zarubin on the 5th."This will mean that the situation has entered a new, qualitative upgrade stage, including Russia-US relations."

Putin also said the "Tax" missile could pose a threat to Russia, but that Russia would shoot it down and further strengthen its air defense system.

U.S. Vice President George W. Bush said on September 28 that the United States was considering providing Ukraine with a range-based cruise missile through NATO European member states that could cover the Russian capital Moscow. It is unclear whether a final decision has been made, however, a U.S. official and three other sources told Reuters that the Trump administration¡¯s plan to provide Ukraine with a range-based cruise missile could not be achieved because the existing inventories have been allocated to the U.S. Navy and other uses.

The "Tax" cruise missile is a subsonic long-range cruise missile manufactured in the United States, usually launched from ships and submarines, mainly used for naval deployment, and there are land-based models with a maximum range of more than 2,000 kilometers.
