Trump may provide Ukraine with offensive weapons

Ukrinform
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce a new plan on Monday to arm Ukraine, which may include the provision of offensive weapons.

As reported by Ukrinform, Axios stated this, citing two informed sources.

“Sending offensive weapons would be a major shift for Trump, who had until recently been at pains to say he would provide only defensive weapons to avoid escalating the conflict,” the report mentioned.

According to the sources, the outlet writes, they have reason to believe that the plan may include long-range missiles capable of striking deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow.

However, none of the interlocutors confirmed what the final decision would be.

“Trump is really pissed at Putin. His announcement tomorrow is going to be very aggressive," Sen. Lindsey Graham,” Axios quotes Senator Lindsey Graham as saying.

As reported by Ukrinform, on Sunday, Donald Trump stated that the United States would supply Ukraine with missiles for Patriot air defense systems to protect against Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.
