The Pentagon has approved providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles after determining it would not harm U.S. stockpiles, leaving the final decision to President Donald Trump, three U.S. and European officials familiar with the matter told CNN.

The move comes amid heightened global nuclear tensions and ongoing debate within the administration over how far to go in supporting Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff delivered their assessment to the White House earlier this month, CNN reported, shortly before Trump’s meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, who has urged Washington to supply the weapons to strike oil and energy facilities deep inside Russia.

Newsweek has not verified the information and has reached out to the White House and the Pentagon via email on Friday afternoon for comment.
