The BBC reported, “US President Donald Trump has signalled a “major” statement on Ukraine today, amid what appears to be his increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Sunday night, Trump said that “sophisticated” military equipment will be heading to Ukraine, including Patriot air defence missiles.
And the US president seemed irritated by Moscow’s lack of action towards a ceasefire in Ukraine, telling reporters that “Putin … talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening”.
His comments follow an interview on Thursday, in which he promised a “major statement” today. US news outlet Axios reported last night that the president is considering sending offensive weapons to Ukraine.
So far, Trump has only offered the nation defensive weaponry – such as the Patriot system.
Trump will meet Nato chief Mark Rutte today at the White House, and US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is in Kyiv this week for talks.”
