President Donald Trump is downplaying the possibility of sending Ukraine long-range weapons as Kyiv awaits an injection of U.S. weaponry that it hopes will help it beat back an intensifying Russian air offensive.

Putin invaded Ukraine just over 13 months into Biden's White House term. Between February 24, 2022, and January 20, 2025, the U.S. became the world's biggest supplier of weapons and aid for Ukraine's fight, pledging over $175 billion in support.

The large-scale, long-range attacks targeted energy infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X.

Kaja Kallas, the EU Commission Vice President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, discussed Russia's offensive against Ukraine during a press conference prior to the EU Foreign Affairs Meeting in Brussels.

Trump announced new weapons for Ukraine and threatened "biting" secondary tariffs of 100% on the buyers of Russian exports unless there is a peace deal in 50 days.
