President Trump is preparing to reveal a significant increase in U.S. military support for Ukraine, following frustration with Putin's ceasefire stance. A NATO-backed weapons deal is anticipated, involving long-range missiles and systems capable of striking deep into Russia. European countries will financially cover American-made weapons sent to Ukraine. The announcement is expected during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump's shift to a more aggressive stance follows a tense call with Putin regarding increased military actions in Ukraine. The White House has yet to comment on this weapons plan.
The president is expected to announce a NATO-backed weapons deal that includes offensive systems capable of striking deep inside Russia.
Under the plan, European countries would foot the bill for American-made weapons, which would then be delivered to Ukraine.
Trump confirmed to reporters on Sunday that the arms would include various pieces of very sophisticated military equipment, including the Patriot air defense system.
Trump's newfound hawkishness reportedly follows a tense July 3 phone call with Putin, in which the Russian leader made clear he intended to ramp up his military campaign.
