Trump criticizes Putin after approving more weapons for Ukraine

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Trump reversed a Pentagon pause on weapons shipments, approving new defensive arms for Ukraine amid escalating Russian attacks and considers additional sanctions on Moscow.

  • On July 8, 2025, US President Donald Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin after a phone call about the war in Ukraine and announced releasing weapons designated for Ukraine.
  • The call followed months of stalled peace talks, escalation in Russian missile attacks, and a recent US Defense Department pause on key weapon deliveries including Patriot missiles to Kyiv.
  • Trump said Putin wants to continue fighting and kill more people, expressed disappointment over the call, suggested the US might supply Patriot systems, and held a strategic call with Ukraine’s President Zelensky.
  • Trump expressed to reporters on Air Force One his deep dissatisfaction with a recent call with Putin, stating that the Russian leader intends to continue the conflict without stopping. He also mentioned that there is frequent discussion about sanctions and that he is considering implementing additional measures against Russia.
  • The increased attacks that killed hundreds, including children, intensified pressure on Trump and lawmakers urging tougher sanctions and more weapons to Ukraine to push Moscow toward negotiations.
