Frustrated Trump Ramps up Criticism of Putin

UKRAINE, JUL 8 – Trump criticized Putin's handling of Ukraine conflict and confirmed sending 10 Patriot missile interceptors to support Ukraine amid weekly casualties of 7,000, officials said.

  • On July 9, President Donald Trump criticized Vladimir Putin's statements about Ukraine as false and committed to providing Kyiv with additional arms for its defense.
  • This followed a recent pause in US arms deliveries caused by low Pentagon stockpiles and a frustrating phone call with Putin that made no peace progress.
  • At the same time, Russian forces conducted a new extensive assault involving drones and missiles targeting Ukraine's military recruitment centers, while Kyiv reported that its troops successfully defended against advances in the Dnipropetrovsk area.
  • Trump confirmed that he has authorized the delivery of defensive arms and is carefully considering a Senate proposal to impose additional sanctions on Russia, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that such measures are likely to impede efforts toward a peaceful settlement.
  • Trump's shift to more criticism and arms support signals growing frustration with Putin and raises uncertainty about the US stance amid Europe's high geopolitical stakes.
