President Trump is set to announce a major new arms deal for Ukraine as his special envoy, Keith Kellogg, arrives in Kyiv for critical discussions. The move marks a significant escalation in U.S. support for Ukraine amid growing frustration with Russia.
Trump’s tone toward Putin has hardened, with the president publicly condemning the Russian leader’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians and demanding an end to the violence. Trump’s statements signal a major departure from his previous diplomatic stance.
The conflict’s human toll is mounting, with June marking the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians. Russia’s missile and drone attacks have intensified, overwhelming Ukraine’s air defenses and increasing the urgency for Western support.
Trump has confirmed that the U.S. will provide additional Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, with the European Union agreeing to fund the systems. The announcement comes as NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte visits Washington to coordinate the international response.
