"The US may look into allowing European allies to buy other long-range weapons and supply them to Ukraine but Tomahawks were unlikely, the official said, questioning the feasibility of providing the cruise missiles with a range of 2,500km (1,550 miles) and suggesting other shorter-distance options could be supplied to Kyiv. The US will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure targets deep inside Russia, according to several media reports, a move that would signal a significant shift in White House support for Kyiv."
"Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned Europe that recent drone incursions show Russia is looking to escalate its aggression, saying Moscow aims to break the west and Europe. The Ukrainian president's warning came at a summit of 45 European leaders in Copenhagen after mystery drone sightings in Denmark and high-profile aerial incursions by Moscow in Estonia and Poland heightened fears that Russia's war on Ukraine could spill over Europe's borders. He said Kyiv was ready to share Ukraine's war-honed expertise to help counter the threat."
Vladimir Putin warned that supplying US Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would create a whole new level of escalation, including in Moscow–Washington relations.

Current Tomahawk inventories are largely committed to the US Navy and other uses, making direct transfers unlikely. The US may enable European allies to procure other long‑range weapons or provide shorter‑range options for Kyiv. The US will supply Ukraine with intelligence on long‑range energy infrastructure targets deep inside Russia. Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that recent drone incursions signal Russian intent to escalate and offered Kyiv's expertise to help Europe counter the threat.
