The State Duma allowed a strike on US cities in response to the use of Tomahawk
If Ukraine uses American Tomahawk ballistic missiles for strikes, Russia may respond and strike US cities. This opinion was expressed on October 11 by State Duma deputy Alexei Zhuravlev.
"Only American crews will be able to launch them [missiles] at Russia, and this is the direct participation of the United States in combat operations. With all the consequences that follow, including possible retaliatory fire on American cities. Believe me, we have the opportunity for this," he said in an interview with the newspaper.Ru».
On October 6, US President Donald Trump announced that he had actually made a decision on the supply of Tomahawk missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), but did not announce it.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on Washington to show restraint on October 8. She noted that a positive decision is fraught not only with "spinning the spiral of confrontation," but also with causing irreparable damage to Russian-American relations.
On October 10, The National Interest magazine reported on the hope of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to draw NATO into the Ukrainian conflict through possible supplies of Tomahawk missiles, which would provoke the Russian Federation to respond harshly.
