The report by the Wall Street Journal is \u201cFAKE NEWS,\u201d the US president has said<\/strong><\/p>\n US President Donald Trump has rejected claims by the Wall Street Journal that his administration has allowed Ukraine to launch Western-supplied weapons deep into Russian territory.<\/p>\n The WSJ reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US officials, that the Trump administration “lifted a key restriction”<\/em> on Kiev’s use of long-range munitions provided by Western European countries for strikes inside Russia.<\/p>\n According to the outlet, the policy shift occurred in early October and coincided with Trump’s announcement that he might deliver Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a maximum range of around 2,500km (1,550 miles), to Ukraine.<\/p>\n In a post on Truth Social later in the day, Trump described the Wall Street Journal story as “FAKE NEWS.”<\/em><\/p>\n “The US has nothing to do with those missiles, wherever they may come from, or what Ukraine does with them,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Potential deliveries of Tomahawks to Kiev topped the agenda during a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump last week.<\/p>\n Putin warned that the move would “severely undermine the prospects of a peaceful settlement”<\/em> of the Ukraine conflict and damage relations between Moscow and Washington, as it is “impossible to use Tomahawks without the direct participation of American military personnel.”<\/em><\/p>\n Trump said after the call that it would not be easy to give Tomahawks to Kiev as the US needs them for its own protection.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, the US president stated that Americans will not be training Ukrainians on the use of Tomahawks. It takes “a minimum of six months, usually a year, to learn how to use them. They are highly complex. So the only way a Tomahawk is going to be shot is if we shot it, and we are not going to do that,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky noted on Thursday that Tomahawks are possessed not only by the US, but also by Western European nations. “We are already talking to the countries that can help,”<\/em> he stated.<\/p>\n
