What is happening?
Vladimir Putin is expected to deliver a “major speech” this week, according to the Kremlin.
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov hinted at an event of significance, calling it part of an “interesting week” ahead.
While details remain under wraps, anticipation is growing over what the Russian president plans to announce.
Mystery announcement fuels speculation
In a televised interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin Sunday, Peskov said:
“The President will deliver a fairly major speech next week. We will announce what it will be about, as well as exactly when and where.”
Trump weighs sending missiles to Ukraine
The announcement comes just days after U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance revealed that Donald Trump is considering a Ukrainian request for Tomahawk missiles.
These long-range weapons could significantly change the landscape of the war, potentially allowing strikes deep into Russian territory.
What makes Tomahawks a gamechanger?
Tomahawk missiles have an impressive range of up to 2500 kilometres (1500 miles).
If supplied to Ukraine, they could reach targets far beyond the frontlines—including inside Moscow.
This would mark a dramatic shift in Ukraine’s offensive capabilities and possibly escalate tensions with Russia.
Ukrainian drones already pushing limits
Ukraine has already shown its reach.
Armed drones have struck oil refineries hundreds of kilometres from active combat zones, causing significant damage.
The addition of Tomahawk missiles would only amplify this ability, raising alarm in Moscow.
U.S. caution begins to shift
Historically, the U.S. has resisted sending long-range weapons to Ukraine.
The primary concern has been the risk of escalating the conflict into a broader NATO-Russia war.
However, Vance’s remarks on Fox News suggest the White House may now be re-evaluating its stance.
Final decision rests with Trump
“It’s something that the president is going to make the final determination on,” Vance stated.
He confirmed that the request for Tomahawks is under review, along with “a number of other requests.”
Trump’s decision could reshape both military dynamics and diplomatic relations.
Moscow watches closely
On Monday, Peskov responded to Vance’s comments, saying Russian military experts are closely monitoring the situation.
With Putin’s upcoming speech and the U.S. reassessing its arms policy, the week ahead promises to be pivotal on multiple fronts.
