The quote you picked is from Ukrainians who are requesting Tomahawks.

US responses in the articles you linked:

1) "the U.S. and NATO are hesitant to endorse due to fears of nuclear escalation."

2) "I don’t see the Biden administration ready to do so yet."

3) "senior U.S. official described the Ukrainian request as totally unfeasible."
