On the Air Force One flying to the Middle East, Trump said that he might have to discuss the Tomahawk missile with Putin. "If the conflict cannot be resolved, I will provide Kiev with the Tomahawk missile."

It is understood that this missile has a range of 2500 kilometers, which means that it can hit the Russian capital, Moscow.
