As President Trump engages to seek peace with Russia, the Biden-era policies of arming Ukraine continue.
3,350 "ERAM" cruise missiles are being shipped to Ukraine, WSJ reports.
The Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) is a hybrid between an air-dropped bomb and a cruise missile. It was developed under a US Air Force program launched in January 2024 to create a low-cost standoff weapon for both American and Ukrainian forces.

Range: up to 463 km
-
Speed: at least 763 km/h
-
Accuracy: within 10 meters
The system can be adapted with different seekers, including the "Quicksink" guidance kit designed for targeting naval vessels. There have also been discussions about adapting ERAM as a cost-effective counter-UAV interceptor.
WSJ also confirms literally every missile Ukraine fires at Russia is authorized by the US, together with the fact only US Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) can find targets in the first place and provide data necessary to hit them, These are, essentially, US strikes on Russia;
This admitted, long-standing reality, exposes this as AMERICA'S war on Russia, making the Trump administration's posturing as "mediator" in its own war on Russia quite dishonest and absurd. Worse, it reveals Washington as the primary obstacle to peace.
The Trump administration's pause on missiles strikes on Russia appears to many people designed only to lure Russia into freezing the conflict. If it becomes clear Russia isn't falling for "Minsk 3.0" US missile strikes will clearly resume; additional missiles are already on their way.
So those of us who breathed a sigh of relief that the US and Russia are talking, and who gladly welcomed Russian President Putin to Alaska, can still have the rug pulled out from beneath us at any moment.
