Trump chastised Putin for deceptive dealings and announced plans to send additional weapons to Ukraine. Trump stated, "We get a lot of bulls**t thrown at us by Putin" and condemned the harm caused to innocent people. He emphasized the urgency of supplying Ukraine with defensive weapons as they face intensified attacks from Russia. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy responded by initiating increased communications with the US for military aid, particularly air defense systems. Trump's stance indicates a commitment to sustaining support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.
"We get a lot of bulls**t thrown at us by Putin," Trump said at the White House on Tuesday. "He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless."
"Putin is not treating human beings right. He's killing too many people," Trump continued, as he explained his decision. On Monday, the US president said more weapons would be sent because the Ukrainians "have to be able to defend themselves."
The US has been the largest contributor of military support for Ukraine and there had been concerns over the status of continued aid when Trump began his second term in office.
On the back of Trump's announcement about more weapons, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he had ordered an expansion of contacts with the US to secure "critical deliveries" of military aid, especially air defense systems.
