President Donald Trump grew frustrated with Vladimir Putin for shelling Ukrainian cities even after a string of "very pleasant" phone calls in which the Russian leader professed a desire for peace.
What Happened: Speaking in the Oval Office beside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump unveiled a plan for European allies to buy advanced U.S. weapons, including Patriot air‑defense systems and hand them to Kyiv, reported The Washington Post. He said the arrangement, under discussion for months, would help Ukraine prevent a full‑bore invasion while sparing American taxpayers.
