Former Ukraine aid critics now back Trump's strategy requiring European funding for weapons to Kyiv after the president pivoted his frustration from Zelenskyy to Putin.

U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to ramp up arms shipments to Ukraine is a signal to Kyiv to abandon peace efforts, Russia said on Thursday, vowing it would not accept the "blackmail" of Washington's new sanctions ultimatum.

President Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky whether Kyiv was able to hit Moscow and St. Petersburg, according to a senior Ukrainian official familiar with their exchange in a July 4 phone call.

As President Donald Trump hardens his position toward Moscow and seeks new ways to bring the conflict to an end, he is leaving open the prospect of allowing shipments of longer-range missiles to the country that would allow it to strike deeper into Russia,

President Donald Trump has finally found a way to like arming Ukraine: ask European allies to donate their weapons, and sell them American replacements.

A new plan to funnel billions in "top of the line" weapons is his most forceful backing of Ukraine yet, writes Daniel Fried.
