At President Trump's direction, the Department of Defense is sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine to ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves while we work to secure a lasting peace and ensure the killing stops. Our framework for POTUS to evaluate military shipments across the globe remains in effect and is integral to our America First defense priorities.

Trump has to use some form of leverage if he wants to end the war, which he does.
Gotta keep the grift alive.
Pulling a Joe Biden on us...
“Defensive” only....No missiles..
No....Joe sent offensive weapons....like long range missiles which were NOT supposed to be lobbed into Russia proper....Then Biden changed his mind...and said “Z” could lob them into Russia proper.
Oh, give it up. The aid is going to the battlefield, not in Zelensky’s pocket.
I’s amusing how the Putin fanbois have become anti-Trumpers.
Putin screwed up by insulting President Trump. Hanging up the phone on President Trump on Thursday was a low-class move and monumentally stupid.
Their declarations of war on President Trump tonight were not unexpected.
Putin isn’t stopping what comes next...
Problem is in the end Putin is not going to cave to Trump, Putin read his book... Reminds of comment Patton made... In the movie “Patton,” the famous line “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”
That’s a phony story. The article that started it was about who hung up first. Then someone “elaborated”....inferring that Putin slammed down the phone on President Trump. As usual, the media is playing it’s games.
You should be on President Trump’s side. Not Putin’s.
IOW, Biden's policy.
Good thing we're in NATO - we get all their enemies and bills, along with all the enemies and bills of non-NATO countries, like Ukraine, Israel, S Korea, Saudi Arabia and more upcoming like Taiwan et al.
Relationships with our leech nation "allies" are all one way.
How can Trump end the war? Answer: Convince both sides that continuing the war is futile - that it will not change the situation on the ground and will achieve nothing but more loss of life. Demonstrate to both sides that you will do all in your power as President of the United States to ensure that it will remain a stalemate. If one side tries to gain an advantage on the ground, provide the other side with the ability to resist such efforts.
In pursuit of that strategy, sending Ukraine defensive weapons, to counter Putin’s clear intention to push for more territorial gains, is the right move.
Putin hung up on President Trump and Ushakov joked about and then rushed out a mocking readout of the call within 30 minutes. Insulting and monumentally stupid.
“You should be on President Trump’s side. Not Putin’s.”
Putin pays more.
Where did you read that Putin hung up on Trump? Please cite source(s)
I’m on nobody’s payroll Putin, Trump, Israel, Qatar no one’s payroll.
