The Kremlin has sent the US President a warning that if Donald Trump allows the UK to send Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine this will trigger a nuclear attack on Britain.
Washington has also told Kyiv that that they will share intelligence for long-range attacks on Russia using the Tomahawk missiles on Russian energy infrastructure, Trump is also calling on NATO to de share intelligence.
President Trump is currently weighing up whether or not to send Ukraine the Barracuda and Tomahawk missiles.
Colonel Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of Russia’s ‘National Defence’ journal warned that a Tomahawk missile has a range of 1,500 miles, if Ukraine were to use these then this will spark World War Three.
The analyst said that should US or British missiles hit any targets inside Russia this will cause “casus belli” meaning it “justifies war.”
Colonel Korotchenko told Readovka, “From the point of view of international law norms — this is a ‘casus belli’.

“Accordingly, Russia will have to respond with retaliatory strikes and, obviously, not only on the territory of Ukraine.”
He told TVC Channel, “Tomahawk is a high-precision weapon and can be used in both conventional and nuclear warfare.
“Therefore, the very fact of transferring such weapons to Ukraine will mean that the United Kingdom or the United States – either of which can transfer such weapons to the Zelensky regime – will automatically enter into war against the Russian Federation.
“We will have neither the time nor the opportunity, nor the desire to ask ourselves questions such as: which Tomahawk, nuclear or conventional, was launched from Ukrainian territory at targets in Russia?”
Korotchenko said, “We are giving ourselves a free hand to respond in any way necessary. First and foremost, this is a qualitative change in the status quo.
“We will use our entire arsenal of conventional and nuclear weapons to eliminate such a threat if it becomes real.”
He added, “The Zelensky regime must be deprived of light and fuel, then it will fall to its knees and crawl to sign a peace agreement on Russian terms.”
The Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “The question remains: Who can launch these missiles, even if they end up on Kyiv regime territory?”
He asked: “Can only Ukrainians launch them, or will the American military do so?
“Who is assigning the targeting to these missiles? This requires a very thorough analysis.”
