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 3, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed disappointment after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and approved sending more defensive weapons to Ukraine.
  • The call followed Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022, and Putin's rejection of Trump's 30-day cease-fire request by escalating missile and drone attacks.
  • Trump expressed deep frustration with Putin, accusing him of insisting on continuing violent actions indefinitely; he also described a focused conversation with Ukraine's President Zelensky aimed at enhancing air defense capabilities, while dismissing the peace negotiations as ineffective.
  • Trump mentioned considering the delivery of Patriot interceptor missiles to Kyiv during a conversation with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, highlighted ongoing discussions about imposing sanctions, and indicated that Putin is aware additional measures could be implemented.
  • These developments reflect strained U.S.-Russia relations, increased U.S. military aid to Ukraine, pressure on Moscow, and uncertainty about ending the conflict.
