Move that changes the balances The US president is allegedly considering the US in the wake of his statements about “frustration” by Putin.
As the Financial Times reveals, Donald Trump’s communication on Monday night asked Volodimir Zelenski if Ukraine can hit Moscow, “And if he would hit goals deep inside Russia, if he was provided with the necessary weapons.” FT rely on people who have been informed of the discussion.
Trump examines the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk Cruise Rockets The Washington Post, David Ignasius, reveals at the same time, citing a source with knowledge of the subject.
Ignasius claims that Trump asked Ukrainian during a conversation last week because he had not hit Moscow. ‘We can, if you give us weapons’, Zelenski replied.
The tradition of Tomahawk, whom, as Ignasius notes, the US used to hit targets in Iran, was already discussed on Friday, July 11th. However, these rockets were not included in the final list of weapons for Ukraine, he writes. Can be delivered to Ukraine later, Iignaeus believes, If Trump needs to exert additional pressure.
According to a reporter’s report, US president decided to escalate pressure for three reasons. First, he thought that Putin “did not respect him” pretending to be ready for peace, but virtually ignoring Trump’s calls for a ceasefire. Secondly, Trump is convinced of the effectiveness of US military power after Iran’s recent bombing.
In addition, the US president believes that Putin will negotiate only under the threat of using greater violence. Ignasius characteristically states that “Trump has decided to escalate for the sake of de -escalation.”
Ignasius’ source in the Pentagon also said that the US would probably lift the restrictions on the scope of Ukraine’s Atacms rockets. Such a move would allow the Ukrainian army to use the 18 ATACMS systems in full range – up to 300 kilometers. This range is not enough to strike targets in Moscow or St. Petersburg is clarified, but it is sufficient to hit Russian military bases and airports.
With the Tomahawk rockets, the journalist writes, the Ukrainian army could To reach Moscow and St. Petersburg.
At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had occupied two more settlements in eastern Ukraine.
