While in Kiev there is a partial relief after recent uncertainties on US military supplies, The climate between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin becomes incandescent. After the announcement, in recent days, of a possible suspension of military aid, the head of the White House has declared that the United States will continue to send weapons to Ukraine, stating that the country has the right to defend itself. But not only that, because the Tycoon has also criticized the Russian president hard, announcing his intention to introduce new penalties against Moscow.
The change of course on the sending of armaments has not been well accepted by the Kremlin, while in Kiev doubts persist on the real entity of the support that Washington will be able to offer. According to some sources, the stocks of Pentagon’s Patriot Missilistic Systems would be at least. During a recent conversation with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump would have already expressed reassurancespecifying that the suspension of supplies had not been his direct decision.
On the occasion of the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, Trump confirmed to the press that the United States will send further weapons to Ukraine, underlining the need for Kiev to be able to defend himself from Russian attacks. He also reiterated his disappointment towards the conduct of Russia, who, according to Washington, would not be demonstrating a real commitment towards a negotiated solution of the conflict. “Putin He’s saying a lot of bullshit“His j’avuse.
The temporary stop to aid, decided by the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, returned to a strategic review after attacks against nuclear sites in Iran. Currently, according to some reconstructions, the United States would have only 25 percent of the Patriot systems for their global military plans, which makes the quantity that can be intended for Ukraine uncertain.
Axios, citing anonymous sources, reports that Trump would promise the immediate sending of 10 Patriot interceptors to Zelensky and would also start interviews with Germany, which is considering the purchase of further units. However, the initial plan provided for the delivery of 30 interceptors to Ukraine. Faced with this scenario, Kiev asked the United States clarifications, underlining the need to guarantee stability, continuity and predictability in the supply of armaments. Zelensky has announced that he had commissioned the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff to intensify the contacts with Washington, reaffirming the urgency to quickly implement political decisions to strengthen the defense, in particular the air.
In Moscow, the prospect of new weapons for Ukraine was welcomed. The spokesperson of the Kremlin, Dmitri Peskovsaid that it is a strategy not consistent with efforts for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, instead accusing European countries of feeding the continuation of hostilities. However, Peskov has recognized the efforts of the American president to encourage direct dialogue between Russia and Ukraine, but the climate is undoubtedly tense: Trump seems to lose patience for Putin’s strategy, which appears anything but intent on putting an end to the conflict. And the scenarios could evolve quickly.
THE’EU Continue to do its part for Kiev. Brussels would be evaluating the establishment of a 100 billion euro fund to support Zelensky, considering that the war does not mention it. According to Bloomberg, the amount could be included in the proposal for the next seven -year EU budget, which should be presented by the end of the month. If approved by the States, the loan would begin to be paid in 2028. “Europeans will never abandon Ukrainian” in front of the “aggression” of Russia, it is the underlining of Emmanuel Macron during his state visit to the United Kingdom.
