Keith Kellogg, the US envoy to Ukraine, said on Sunday on Fox News that the possibility of Ukraine striking deep into Russia with US weapons is plausible.

In response to whether former US President Donald Trump allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia, Kellogg said, “Based on what (Donald Trump), Vice President (J.D.) Vance, and Secretary of State (Marco) Rubio said, the answer is yes.” He added, “They used capabilities to strike deep, there are no impregnable fortresses.”

In comments to Fox News, US Vice President J.D. Vance said Washington is considering selling long-range Tomahawk missiles to Europeans to deliver to Ukraine.

Vance stated, “As the President (Trump) said, we are discussing it,” noting that Washington is reviewing “a number of European demands” and the President will “make the final decision in the best interest of the United States.”

Moscow, for its part, sought to downplay these statements.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a press briefing on Monday, “There is no antidote capable of resolving the situation on the Kyiv regime’s front, and no magic weapon, whether Tomahawk missiles or others, that changes anything.”

These statements come amid a noticeable shift in the US stance on the war in Ukraine.

Last week, the US President said Ukraine is capable of reclaiming all its territory from Russia “and even beyond,” after months of saying Kyiv might have to give up some of its lands.

J.D. Vance also said Trump’s patience with Moscow is running out, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov to stop the “slaughter” in Ukraine.
