President Donald Trump has made a major shift in his Ukraine policy, announcing that the US will supply advanced weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies and threatening severe tariffs on Russia and its trading partners if Moscow does not agree to a ceasefire within 50 days.
This marks a significant departure from Trump's previous stance, which was more conciliatory toward Russia. Despite the ultimatum and new sanctions threats, Russian officials have publicly dismissed the pressure, continuing their military campaign in Ukraine. Analysts suggest that while Trump's move could increase pressure on Putin, Moscow remains skeptical and appears to be betting that the US threats are a bluff.
The new approach has major implications for the war's trajectory and US-Russia relations.
