President Donald Trump has made a major shift in his Ukraine policy, announcing that the US will send advanced weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies and threatening Russia with severe economic sanctions if it does not agree to a peace deal within 50 days.
This marks a sharp reversal from Trump's previous stance, which was seen as more sympathetic to Russia. The new approach includes the sale of Patriot missile systems and other arms, with NATO countries facilitating the transfer. Despite the ultimatum and tariff threats, Russian officials have largely dismissed the warnings, continuing their military campaign in Ukraine.
Analysts are skeptical that Trump's pressure will force Putin to change course, but the move signals a significant escalation in US involvement and a tougher line against Moscow.
