Tuesday briefing: What Trump’s ‘massive’ weapons deal for Ukraine means for the war – and for Putin
The GuardianTuesday, July 15, 2025 at 5:32:56 AM
Donald Trump is making headlines by announcing a major weapons deal for Ukraine, signaling a sharp shift in his relationship with Vladimir Putin. The former president, who once seemed chummy with Putin, now appears fed up with Russia's refusal to end the war. Trump claims this move will help "finish" the conflict, but it also marks a clear escalation in U.S. involvement—and a stark break from his previous reluctance to challenge Moscow.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another weapons deal—it's a turning point. Trump's sudden hardline stance could reshape the war in Ukraine, strain U.S.-Russia relations further, and even influence global perceptions of American foreign policy. Whether this accelerates peace or deepens the conflict, it’s a big deal for everyone watching how this war unfolds.
