A topic for retired general Pavel Macek.
"The Tomahawks for Ukraine, just as a topic, have the power to deter," says General Macko. According to him, the proof is also the step of Vladimir Putin, who initiated the phone call with the American president. According to him, they serve as a strategic tool for Trump in negotiations."They have the power of an ultimatum," he explains. It should be transformed into a condition for a ceasefire for Moscow.
However, Pavel Macko also talks about the risk:"The entire maneuver with the tomahawks may get stuck because a European partner cannot be found to pay for them."
