A decision to greenlight attacks might already have been taken as Washington considers Tomahawk missile deliveries, Keith Kellogg has said
US President Donald Trump may have already approved Ukrainian long-range strikes inside Russia, special envoy Keith Kellogg said on Sunday in an interview with Fox News.
Kellogg, who is often described in the media as a pro-Kiev voice within Trump's team, was asked about the president's recent remark that Ukraine could recapture all the territory it has lost to Russia and "maybe even go further than that," which the host interpreted as a sign of imminent long-range strikes.
Ukraine must secure Washington's approval to hit targets deep inside Russia with US-supplied weapons. The first such permission was granted in November 2024 under President Joe Biden, shortly after Trump won that year's election.
Kellogg said the final call on any such request rests with Trump as commander-in-chief, noting that "sometimes the Ukrainians get some of these, sometimes they don't."
Pressed on whether Trump supports Ukrainian strikes into Russia, Kellogg replied, "I think, reading what he has said and reading what Vice President [J.D.] Vance has said as well as [Secretary of State Marco] Rubio, the answer is, yes." He added, "There are no such things as sanctuaries."

Vance recently told Fox News that Trump is "certainly looking" at a renewed Ukrainian request for US-made Tomahawk cruise missiles. Kellogg said such weapons would allow Ukraine to deepen its reach inside Russian territory.
The Kremlin has downplayed the potential impact of any Tomahawk deliveries. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said no "wonder weapon" would change the battlefield dynamic, although he added that Ukrainian forces would likely be unable to operate Tomahawks without direct US involvement - something Moscow would consider a serious escalation.
