Zelenskyy Promotes Allies Who’ve Shown They Can Deal with US - West Hawaii Today

KYIV CITY MUNICIPALITY, KYIV CITY REGION, JUL 18 – Trump urged Ukraine to shift from defense to offense during a July 4 call, leading to a $10 billion U.S. weapons offer to support Kyiv's efforts, officials said.

  • During the Independence Day call, President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine must go on the offensive, marking a shift in U.S.-Ukraine strategy.
  • Ahead of the late-February meeting, U.S. and European policymakers initiated a behind-the-scenes effort to rehabilitate Zelensky's ties with Trump, while Zelensky also benefited from Trump's frustration with Putin.
  • Andriy Yermak said, `Wow, that was the best call with him we ever had`, as Zelensky's staff was surprised by the tone and the president noted Trump's shifting view of Putin.
  • Following the turnabout, Trump has set a 50-day clock for a peace deal before imposing full tariffs on Russian imports and offered $10 billion in weaponry for Europe to buy on Ukraine's behalf.
  • Overhauling his Cabinet this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy positioned loyalists favorable to Trump, and he plans a Monday meeting with ambassadors to set U.S. relations priorities.
