MOSCOW (Reuters) -The Kremlin said on Monday that Russia's military specialists were monitoring the possible supply of U.S. long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine but they would not change the situation on the battlefield.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was important to understand whether the United States or Ukraine would provide the targeting data for such missiles to be fired.
