Sending Ukraine offensive weapons could push Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, retired Adm. James Stavridis, the former NATO supreme allied commander, said on Monday.
Speaking ahead of the announcement of the U.S.-NATO weapons deal for Ukraine, Stavridis said he was hoping the deal would “move beyond strictly defensive weapons, such as the Patriot missiles, which are the air defense systems that the Ukrainians desperately need.”
“What I would like to see is a provision for the United States to send more harpoon missiles to go after the Black Sea fleet, more HIMARS, surface-to-surface weapons that can reach deep behind Russian lines, more offensive cyber capability, and Kate, maybe some more F-16 aircraft, all of which are very capable offensively,” Stavridis said in an interview with CNN’s Kate Bolduan on Monday.
“I think that is what could move Putin to the negotiating table, which is what we want on our side,” he continued.
Trump announced Monday he brokered a deal to send more weapons to Ukraine without burdening the United States. Under the deal, weapons would be sourced from NATO allies in Europe who just agreed to step up their defense spending at a summit President Trump hailed as a success.
While Trump said these deals would include Patriot missile defense batteries critical for Ukraine to guard its skies under increasing Russian bombardment, there was little information on what other weapons systems Trump would be greenlighting for countries to purchase or what would be prioritized.
“It’s everything. It’s Patriots. It’s all of them. It’s a full complement with the batteries,” Trump said, adding that the batteries could arrive in Ukraine within days.

Like I have said...
the zelensky/ukraine supporters want the U.S. to use all it’s military equipment, money, and boots on the ground...
because they want to weaken and neuter the U.S., and don’t care if the U.S. gets in WWIII with russia...
LOLOL!
Russia ends up winning Napoleon and Hitler tried but failed I guess our current leaders follow in those footsteps thinking they are better than those two guys.
But alas we are all such wicked sinners.
Or into Europe.
The Hill?
Creditable source, please.
I used to detest Obama when he made stupid straw-man arguments, so I find your argument just as vile.
Show me one link or one freeper arguing we should "use all it’s military equipment" on Ukraine
Nobody is invading Russia. We are just asking it to join the 21st century and stop invading neighboring countries for territorial annexation.
Putin thought he was dealing with Biden or Obama.
“We are just asking it to join the 21st century and stop invading neighboring countries for territorial annexation.”
The historical revisionism around here is insane.
Yeah, deep strikes into Russia, with US missiles. That’s a sure way to get him to agree to our terms.
Lunatics...
Might also move the Norks to attack South Korea.
20% of Ukraine is occupied and annexed by Russia.
“Yeah, deep strikes into Russia, with US missiles. That’s a sure way to get him to agree to our terms.”
Russia is broke. They will have to stop.
LOL!
Both Russia and the US. They want Russia unable to defend itself so its mineral wealth is owned by the globalists. Weakening the US forces it to retrench so it cant defend against China.
😂🤡
So you ignored or missed all the ukraine bro threads about how hegseth and the pentagon were lying when the pentagon stopped shippment of arms to ukraine because it’s inventories were 25% of required....
and demanded that the U.S. fulfill biden’s promised deliveries of patriots and other equipment, because it would make the U.S. look bad if it didn’t send arms, even if it would deplete them by $3.8 billion in promised equipment
kill putin
and z man if you like
I have proofz.
Your Momz toldz me it was so.🤡😂
