Trump: Ukraine shouldn’t target Moscow

UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Trump threatens severe sanctions on Russia if no ceasefire deal is reached in 50 days and announces billions in arms shipments to Ukraine via NATO support.

  • On July 4, 2025, US President Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and asked if Ukraine could strike Moscow with long-range weapons.
  • This call followed Trump's prior conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, after which Trump expressed disappointment in Putin's unwillingness to end the war.
  • During the call, Trump discussed supplying Ukraine with the Army Tactical Missile System and urged Zelensky to escalate strikes deep into Russian territory, reflecting a shift toward increasing pressure on Moscow.
  • Reports say Trump asked, "Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow?" and also inquired about St Petersburg, while the White House stated he was merely asking questions, not encouraging further attacks.
  • This conversation signals a deeper US commitment to arming Ukraine and increases tensions, while Moscow warned such moves may delay peace talks and continue the war.
