Diplomat, former Ukrainian foreign minister (2007–2009) and head of the Center for Russia Studies, Volodymyr Ohryzko shared his opinions on Espreso TV.“In the Kremlin they are afraid, and it is not only about Tomahawk, but also about a change in the West’s position. Recall that the Biden administration had a key idea — to prevent the collapse of Ukraine, but also not to allow it to achieve victory. Today Trump’s position is changing: from the approach ‘you must agree to capitulation and meet Putin’s demands’ to a recognition that Putin has no viable economy, and that the Ukrainians are brave fighters who are fighting the right way,” Ohryzko said.According to the diplomat, in the Kremlin, they fear not only the Tomahawk, but also that the position of the Americans, and consequently that of the Europeans, has shifted. And if Trump gives Ukraine at least one Tomahawk and the country demonstrates it “at an exhibition of advanced experience,” then tomorrow there may be ten, the day after tomorrow thirty, and in a month a hundred. And then by some miracle Ukraine might receive TAURUS missiles — not single shipments, but in dozens or even hundreds. And that would mean that facilities on Russian territory that still operate and supply the aggressor’s military needs would be destroyed.“Russian air defense, despite their claims of having no analog, recently allowed a double strike over Moscow. Those two drone attacks were in fact meant to test what Russia’s real, actual air defenses are — and that goal was achieved.Now we know perfectly well where, how and what needs to be launched so that in Moscow, in the center of this pseudo‑empire, they realize: they should stop this madness, because it will get worse. I am not even talking about the fact that Russian air defenses are full of holes across the whole territory.So it is obvious that the Russians are afraid of such a prospect, because it would mean the collapse of the regime and the political and physical death of those who personify this regime,” Ohryzko emphasized.A potential meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy could indicate Trump's willingness to establish a relationship of trust, contingent upon the fulfillment of specific requirements.On October 13, U.S. President Donald Trump said he might provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles if Russian leader Vladimir Putin does not stop the war.
