(Recasts with details on Tomahawks, reporting from Washington on the likelihood of supply, details on U.S. intelligence sharing on striking Russia) MOSCOW, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said that if the United States supplied Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for long-range strikes deep into Russia then it would lead to the destruction of Moscow's relationship with Washington. Less than two months since U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin at a summit in Alaska, peace looks even further away with Russian forces advancing in Ukraine, Russian drones allegedly flying in NATO airspace and now Washington talking about direct participation in striking deep into the world's biggest nuclear power. Trump has said he is disappointed with Putin for not making peace and has cast Russia as a "paper tiger" for failing to subdue Ukraine. Putin last week hit back, questioning if NATO was not the "paper tiger" for failing to stop Russia's advance. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said last month that Washington was considering a Ukrainian request to obtain long-range Tomahawks that could strike deep into Russia, including Moscow, though it is unclear if a final decision has been made. "This will lead to the destruction of our relations, or at least the positive trends that have emerged in these relations," Putin said in a video clip released on Sunday by Russian state television reporter Pavel Zarubin. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure targets in Russia, as it weighs whether to send Kyiv missiles that could be used in such strikes. Two officials confirmed the Journal report to Reuters. But one U.S. official and three other sources told Reuters that the Trump Administration's desire to send long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine may not be viable because current inventories are committed to the U.S. Navy and other uses . Tomahawk cruise missiles have a range of 2,500 kilometres (1,550 miles), which means that if Ukraine got the missiles then the Kremlin and all of European Russia would be within target. Putin on Thursday said that it was impossible to use Tomahawks without the direct participation of U.S. military personnel and so any supply of such missiles to Ukraine would trigger a "qualitatively new stage of escalation". "This will mean a completely new, qualitatively new stage of escalation, including in relations between Russia and the United States," Putin said. He added that Tomahawks could harm Russia, but that it would simply shoot them down and improve its own air defence. Putin portrays the Ukraine war as a watershed moment in Moscow's relations with the West, which he says humiliated Russia after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union by enlarging NATO and encroaching on what he considers Moscow's sphere of influence. Western European leaders and Ukraine cast the war as an imperial-style land grab and have repeatedly vowed to defeat Russian forces. They argue that unless Russia is defeated, Putin will risk an attack on a NATO member, a claim Putin has repeatedly denied. (Reporting by Reuters; editing by Guy Faulconbridge)

* Rookie Aldeguer wins first Indonesia GP * Second youngest rider to win race * Marquez, Bezzecchi involved in crash (Adds quotes, details) MANDALIKA, Indonesia, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Rookie Fermin Aldeguer earned the first victory of his fledgling MotoGP career at the Indonesia Grand Prix on Sunday, while newly crowned champion Marc Marquez crashed out after a crunching collision with Marco Bezzecchi. Gresini Racing rider Aldeguer surged past KTM's Pedro Acosta to take the lead in the 10th lap, eventually finishing well clear of the competition. The win will have helped Aldeguer erase the pain of his second-placed finish in Saturday's sprint, where he led for most of the 13-lap race before finishing second behind Bezzecchi. Acosta was second, with Aldeguer's teammate Alex Marquez completing the podium. "I can't believe it, no. I'm super happy. I have a lot of words to say," said Aldeguer, who became the first rookie to win a race since Jorge Martin in 2021. "Thank you to all my people, all my family, the Ducati Gresini team. To be a rookie, we are doing an incredible work. We have to continue like this. This is not the time to relax, it's the time for more." At 20 years and 183 days old, Aldeguer also becomes the second-youngest rider to ever win a MotoGP race after Marquez at 20 years and 63 days. MARQUEZ CRASHES Pole-sitter Bezzecchi had an awful start to the race, finding himself in sixth place after the first two turns, and the Aprilia rider was a touch too forceful in his desperation to climb back up into the lead. As he charged into the fray, Bezzecchi nudged the rear of Marquez's Ducati and the pair hurtled into the gravel at high speed, with Marquez appearing to be in significant discomfort after the fall. The Spaniard, who won his seventh MotoGP championship at last week's Japanese Grand Prix, was hunched over on the side of the track for a couple of minutes before staggering to his feet and lurching away while clutching his shoulder. The crash continued a dreadful streak of luck for Marquez at the Mandalika International Circuit, where he has never been able to finish a grand prix in four attempts. There did not appear to be any bad blood between Bezzecchi and Marquez, however, as they shared a quick handshake before Marquez was taken to the medical centre. In an update after an initial round of scans, Ducati said there was evidence of a fracture and that Marquez would fly to Madrid to undergo further tests on his collarbone injury. Ducati's afternoon then went from bad to worse a few laps later when two-times champion Francesco Bagnaia's bike slipped out from underneath him and dumped him onto the asphalt. The Italian, who has endured a torrid campaign this year, cut a frustrated figure as he looked up to the sky and gestured angrily with folded hands. Earlier on Sunday, KTM Ajo's Jose Antonio Rueda won the Moto3 race in Indonesia to clinch the 2025 title.

MANDALIKA, Indonesia, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Ducati's Marc Marquez suffered a collarbone injury as a result of a collision with Marco Bezzecchi at the Indonesia Grand Prix on Sunday, his team said. In the first lap of the race, Bezzecchi collided with the rear of Marquez's Ducati and the pair both hurtled into the gravel at high speed, with Marquez appearing to be in significant discomfort after tumbling head over heels. The Spaniard, who won his seventh MotoGP championship at last week's Japanese Grand Prix, was hunched over on the side of the track for a couple of minutes before staggering to his feet and lurching away while clutching his shoulder. He was later seen with his arm in a sling, with members of Ducati team saying on the race's broadcast that there was evidence of a fracture after initial scans. "As a result of today's crash at Indonesian GP, Marc Marquez has suffered an injury to his right collarbone," Ducati said in a statement on social media. "The Spanish rider will travel tonight to Madrid (Spain) for further medical tests and to decide on the treatment to follow." The injury was on the shoulder of the arm Marquez fractured in the 2020 July season-opening Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, which ruled him out for an extended period and required several surgeries.
