'Our friend Donald…': Putin ally Lukashenko mocks Trump over Tomahawk missile threat| Ukraine,Russia

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and top Russian officials reacted to President Trump’s remarks about possibly sending U.S. Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine—a move that would dramatically expand Kyiv’s long-range capabilities. Lukashenko urged calm, describing Trump’s threats as tactical pressure meant to push negotiations, not the start of missile launches, and warned that Ukraine risks collapse if peace talks fail. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed Moscow’s “extreme concern,” stressing that even the idea of Tomahawk deliveries is dangerous since the missiles can carry nuclear or non-nuclear warheads. He said Russia continues to favor diplomacy but sees no willingness from Kyiv or Europe. Meanwhile, Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov mocked Nobel Peace Prize discussions tied to weapons supplies as “plain stupidity,” calling it proof of Kiev’s recklessness.
