President Donald Trump announced a new plan to send weapons to Ukraine, signaling a shift in his stance toward Russian President Vladimir Putin and aiming to increase pressure on Russia.
Trump explained that European countries would purchase American weapons and transfer them to Ukraine under the plan.
Expressing growing frustration with Putin, Trump criticized the Russian leader’s failure to secure peace in Ukraine. The U.S. administration warned Russia that it will face severe economic penalties if it does not reach a peace agreement within 50 days.
The proposed economic measures include tariff threats on Russian goods, designed to push Russia into peace talks. The weapons involved in the plan include advanced defense systems to strengthen Ukraine’s military capabilities.
Trump expects strong support from European allies and emphasized their critical role in facilitating the weapons transfer. U.S. officials are working closely with European counterparts to finalize the logistics and ensure swift delivery.
