Kremlin sends chilling warning over Trump missile decision 'tensions are escalating from a

The Kremlin delivered a stark warning to Washington on Sunday following the arrival of Tomahawk missiles supplied by the U.S. on Ukrainian territory.

This development emerged after President Trump opted to alter his approach following a deadlock in discussions with Vladimir Putin.

"The topic of Tomahawks is of extreme concern," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov informed Russian state television reporter Pavel Zarubin. "Now is really a very dramatic moment in terms of the fact that tensions are escalating from all sides." The news emerges as map shows key targets deep inside Russia at risk from US-supplied Tomahawk missiles.

The formidable U.S.-manufactured weapons boast a range of 2,500 km, enabling Kyiv to continue devastating crucial targets deep within Russian territory.

Weekly, Ukrainian forces are destroying essential infrastructure including oil refineries, a scenario which is stoking an oil crisis throughout Russia, reports the Express US.

Such is the power of Tomahawks, certain decommissioned versions can transport a nuclear warhead, the U.S. Congressional Research Service observes.

This notion proves particularly alarming for Putin's administration, as expressed by Peskov.

"Just imagine: a long-range missile is launched and is flying and we know that it could be nuclear. What should the Russian Federation think? Just how should Russia react? Military experts overseas should understand this," Peskov said.

Fresh Russian strikes on Ukraine overnight

Russia targeted Ukraine's power grid overnight, forming part of a sustained offensive to devastate Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of winter. Mykola Kalashnyk, the Governor of Kyiv region, has reported that two employees of DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, were injured in Russian strikes on a substation.

The Energy Ministry of Ukraine also stated that infrastructure was targeted in Donetsk, Odesa and Chernihiv regions.

"Russia continues its aerial terror against our cities and communities, intensifying strikes on our energy infrastructure," wrote Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on X, noting that Russia had launched "more than 3,100 drones, 92 missiles, and around 1,360 glide bombs" over the past week.

Zelensky urged for stricter secondary sanctions on purchasers of Russian oil. "Sanctions, tariffs, and joint actions against the buyers of Russian oil - those who finance this war - must all remain on the table," he penned, adding that he had a "very productive" telephone conversation with Trump, where they discussed strengthening Ukraine's "air defence, resilience, and long-range capabilities," along with "details related to the energy sector."
