Details: Ryabkov said Russia is urging the United States to act responsibly regarding the possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

"The hypothetical use of such systems is only possible with the direct involvement of American personnel. I hope those pushing Washington towards this decision fully understand the depth and severity of the consequences," he stated.
