Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Oct. 5 that Moscow’s relationship with Washington would be destroyed if the United States were to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for long-range strikes deep into Russian territory.
“This will lead to the destruction of our relations, or at least the positive trends that have emerged in these relations,” Putin said in a video clip released on Oct. 5 by Russian state television reporter Pavel Zarubin.
