The US stance on the war in Ukraine has notably shifted, with the US envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, stating on Fox News Sunday that the possibility of Ukraine striking deep into Russia with American weapons is “plausible.”

When asked if former US President Donald Trump allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia, Kellogg replied: “Based on what Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have said, the answer is yes.”

He added: “They used the capabilities to strike deep. There are no impregnable fortresses.”

Confirming this direction, US Vice President J.D. Vance told Fox News that Washington is considering selling long-range Tomahawk missiles to Europeans, with the intention of later delivering them to Ukraine.

Vance noted 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.”

These developments come amid a comprehensive shift in Trump’s rhetoric towards Moscow. After months of hinting that Kyiv might have to give up some of its territory, the US President said last week that Ukraine is capable of reclaiming all its lands from Russia “and even beyond.”

Vance also stated that Trump’s patience with Moscow is running out, likening Russia recently to a “paper tiger” that appears strong but is not so in reality.

Meanwhile, Moscow sought to downplay the impact of these statements and the shift in the US stance.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a Monday briefing: “There is no antidote capable of resolving the situation on the Kyiv regime’s front. No magic weapon, whether Tomahawk missiles or others. They change nothing.”

It is worth noting that this sharp shift comes after Trump preferred dialogue with Vladimir Putin and reprimanded his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in February, telling him that “the cards are not in his hands” in this war.
