U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg has floated the opportunity of long-range strikes by Ukraine in opposition to Russia with American weapons, following the administration’s current pivot on the battle.
In a Fox News interview broadcast on Sunday (September 28, 2025), Mr. Kellogg was requested whether or not Mr. Trump had authorised strikes deep into Russian territory — days after Moscow was accused of sending fighter jets and drones that violated the airspace of a number of European nations.
“Reading what [Trump] has said and reading what Vice President [J.D.] Vance has said, as well as [Secretary of State Marco] Rubio, the answer is yes,” he mentioned.
“Use the ability to hit deep. There are no such things as sanctuaries.”
Vice President Vance mentioned in a separate Fox News program on Sunday the U.S. was having “conversations” on whether or not to give long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv, a request Mr. Trump has beforehand denied.
“It’s something that the president is going to make the final determination on,” Mr. Vance mentioned, referring to the missiles, including that the U.S. was “looking at a number of requests from the Europeans.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned in a press briefing on Monday that there was “no panacea that can change the situation on the front for the Kyiv regime.”
“There’s no magic weapon. Whether it’s Tomahawks or other missiles, they won’t be able to change the dynamic.”
Mr. Trump mentioned final week after assembly Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Kyiv was able, with the European Union’s assist, to battle and win “all of Ukraine back in its original form.”
Russia annexed the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea after an operation in 2014 and now controls areas in japanese and southern Ukraine following Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
It marks a shift on Ukraine for Mr. Trump, who instructed Mr. Zelenskyy throughout a televised Oval Office bust-up in February that “you don’t have the cards” to beat Russia.
Russia has vowed to press on with its offensive within the three-and-a-half-year-long battle, with the Kremlin lately dismissing Mr. Trump’s declare that the nation was a “paper tiger” with a floundering financial system.
