Trump mulls Tomahawk deliveries to Ukraine if Russia keeps war going

President Donald Trump said he may send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not settle the war, calling the weapon "incredible" and "very offensive."

Trump, while speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, was asked about his recent conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and military aid.

Trump said he spoke with Zelenskyy on Sunday morning, and Zelenskyy asked about Ukraine’s need for additional weapons in its fight against Russia.

Trump said the U.S. sells and sends weapons to NATO, unlike the Biden administration, which, he said, gave Ukraine $350 billion.

"We gave him nothing, but we gave them respect and some other things," Trump said.

He said he hopes the U.S. can provide more arms, but added that the country must also keep enough to defend itself.

"They need Patriots very badly. They’d like to have Tomahawks. That’s a step up," Trump said. "We talked about that, so we’ll see."

Before agreeing to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, Trump said he may first speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin to see if Moscow wants missiles headed its way.

"I don’t think so," Trump said. "I might speak to Russia about that, in all fairness. I told that to President Zelenskyy because Tomahawks are a new step of aggression."

As for a potential conversation about Putin, Trump said he might have to tell him, "if this war is not going to get settled, I’m going to send them Tomahawks."

"The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, a very offensive weapon, and honestly, Russia does not need that," Trump said. "I may tell him that if the war is not settled, we may very well. We may not, but we may do it. I think it’s appropriate to bring up."

"I want to see the war settled," Trump added.

Zelenskyy wrote in a post on X on Sunday that his talks with Trump "covered all the aspects of the situation," including Ukraine’s defense of life and efforts to strengthen its air defense, resilience, and long-range capabilities.

Zelenskyy added that they also discussed "many details" involving the energy sector, though he did not elaborate.

"President Trump is well informed about everything that is happening," Zelenskyy wrote. "We agreed to continue our dialogue, and our teams are doing their preparations."

Trump’s talks with Zelenskyy come as Moscow continues to strike Ukraine with drones and missiles, wounding at least 20 people in Kyiv and causing widespread blackouts Friday. A child was also killed in a separate Russian attack in the southeast.

Late Saturday and early Sunday, Russia attacked Ukraine’s power grid in an effort to degrade the country’s energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

The latest grid attack, similar to Russia’s annual pre-winter strikes, came as Moscow expressed "extreme concern" over the U.S. potentially providing Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Panthers stun Cowboys as Tetairoa McMillan scores first career touchdowns in win

The Carolina Panthers must have loved last week's come-from-behind victory so much that they decided to do it again, this time against the Dallas Cowboys at home. 

The Panthers moved to 3-3 after a walk-off field goal in a 30-27 victory over the Cowboys, who are now 2-3-1 this season. 

It was a back-and-forth offensive show at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday morning, but the Panthers got the three-and-out they needed in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning drive.

There was plenty of time on the clock for Carolina, but they were able to milk the final 6:01 to deny the Cowboys a chance at a rebuttal in the end. Bryce Young and the Panthers’ offense started on their own 14-yard line, and proceeded to go 15 plays, converting on multiple key downs including a fourth-and-4 on Dallas’ 40-yard line to eventually set up a 33-yard field goal for Ryan Fitzgerald. 

As the clock struck zero, Fitzgerald was money, and the Panthers were celebrating yet again after putting together back-to-back wins.

While that drive was thrilling, Young was earlier able to help rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan fulfill a milestone, securing his first career touchdown. McMillan hauled in a 19-yard strike from Young to finally get into the end zone after not doing so the previous five weeks. 

But McMillan didn’t just settle for one in this game. Early in the fourth quarter, a scrambling Young found him again for his second score to give Carolina a 27-24 lead. Young’s third touchdown pass of the day went to Rico Dowdle, who had quite the revenge game against his former Cowboys squad on a 36-yard catch-and-run to kick off the second half. 

While Young had a solid day with 199 passing yards and three touchdowns, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was once again playing brilliantly to help his team get in position for a win. 

It’s been a roller coaster for Cowboys fans this year, but one thing that has been steady is the offense. Prescott threw for 261 yards with three touchdowns, including one to George Pickens, who led the game with 168 yards on nine receptions. Prescott also found tight end Jake Ferguson (3 catches, 33 yards) as well as fullback Hunter Luepke for his first career receiving touchdown. 

The Cowboys, though, couldn’t come through on that three-and-out drive, as two short passes to running back Javonta Williams were snuffed out by the Panthers’ defense to force an early punt. 

Riding high on this win streak, the Panthers will hit the road in an attempt to keep it going against the New York Jets next week. Meanwhile, the Cowboys will have a tough divisional matchup with the Washington Commanders as they return to Dallas.
