The Kremlin is worried over the US President’s to send Kyiv Tomahawks as Ukraine “will be strengthened.”
Russia has vowed they “will do everything” in their power to ensure their security should Ukraine receive the long-range high precision Tomahawks.
Peskov made his statement as the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to meet with Donald Trump.
The Kremlin’s spokesman issued another war of words warning the use of Tomahawks on Russia will be “a new level of escalation.”
Peskov told Russian media, “Our military knows what to do; they have the military potential and all the necessary capabilities. Everything will be done to ensure the security of our country.”

The Ukrainian President is calling on President Trump to allow the transfer of the Tomahawks which have an effective range of 1,550 miles and will strike key targets deep inside Russia.
The Tomahawks will allow Ukrainian forces to strike logistical hubs, command centres and other military targets, unlike Russia, Ukraine does not deliberately attack civilians.
“Ukraine will strike Tomahawk missiles exclusively at Russian military targets,” President Zelensky said this week.
President Zelensky said on 8 October, “Right now, it is important to send a signal that Ukraine will be strengthened by all means possible. And this is one of those means that is important to me — Tomahawks.”
Shaun Pinner a former Ukrainian Marine, who was also captured by Russian forces and held as a prisoner of war (POW) wrote for LLB, “Zelenskyy’s comment was aired by Fox News in the United States on Sunday, the same day he spoke to US President Donald Trump and in Aljazeera.
“Even after losing families, children, and soldiers, our people have never targeted civilians. That’s the difference between Ukraine and Russia.” – NDTV reported
“It wasn’t just a statement about weapons, or possibly an open reply to Donald Trump, who has shown interest in supplying them “depending on how Ukraine plans to use them” and wants assurances before making a final commitment.
“Ukraine refuses to let rage dictate its actions. For Ukraine, precision is not merely strategy, it’s character.”
Shaun added, “As I recently wrote on my social media, ‘It’s honour that will, win this war. Russia lost that long ago, along with any moral bar to measure by’.
“The arrival of Tomahawks, if approved, is not just about firepower. It represents trust, from the Trump administration and from the West, trust that Ukraine will use such power responsibly. That trust has been earned, not demanded.”
