As the war continues in Ukraine, many citizens are turning to tarot readings for insights and solace. During a recent livestream, popular Ukrainian tarot reader Tetya Fanya engaged with an audience of over 59,000 viewers on YouTube, addressing a pressing question: Will Ukraine ever receive the highly sought-after Tomahawk missiles from the United States?
Fanya posed the question directly, inviting viewers to explore the cards’ insights about Ukraine’s prospects for acquiring these advanced weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has persistently appealed to the US for the Tomahawks, emphasizing that their deployment could compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate and potentially end the ongoing conflict, which has persisted for over three and a half years. Zelensky even suggested that he would nominate former President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize should he facilitate the delivery of the missiles.
The Tomahawk missiles are deemed crucial due to their capability to strike targets up to 1,500 miles away with precision, making them a significant threat to Russian military operations. A senior US congressional aide noted that these missiles would “scare the s—t out of the Russians more than almost anything else we could do.”
In her livestream, Fanya drew the knight of pentacles, a tarot card associated with persistent efforts toward achieving goals. She highlighted that Ukraine’s requests for the Tomahawks have faced repeated challenges since the onset of the Biden administration. Previous discussions began during Zelensky’s outreach to Trump while he campaigned for re-election.
Fanya conveyed a sense of cautious optimism, stating, “It’s a long game.” She continued by drawing two additional cards—the page of pentacles and the five of pentacles. The former indicates potential for opportunity, while the latter suggests hardships, hinting that the arrival of Tomahawks may be further off than some in Ukraine hope. “The proponents of this weapon believe it is some kind of promising missile that can deter the enemy. There is an expectation that in the future — that is not now — it will be useful,” she explained.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has reportedly cleared the sale of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, as confirmed by a CNN report. The final decision, however, rests with Trump, who has expressed concerns about the potential escalation of the conflict stemming from the missiles’ deployment.
Fanya’s tarot readings have increasingly focused on the war, addressing the anxieties of many Ukrainians, particularly those from Russian-occupied territories. “People really want to return home,” she remarked, reflecting the deep emotional impact of the ongoing conflict and the longing for peace and stability.
As the situation evolves, the intersection of tarot and military strategy highlights the unique ways in which individuals seek guidance and comfort during uncertain times, showcasing the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit in the face of adversity.
