US President Donald Trump has finally found a way to arm Ukraine: ask European allies to hand over their weapons and buy American ones in return. Now comes the hard part - agreeing on who will transfer the valuable weapons,

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.

Though Trump's decision was welcomed by leaders in Kyiv, Ukrainians and their supporters abroad also raised concerns that the 50-day window may offer Russian President Vladimir Putin an opportunity to intensify his long-range strikes against Ukrainian cities and ongoing summer frontline offensive.

NATO plans to gather countries that own Patriot missile systems to support Ukraine. The meeting is expected to take place next week, according to a Reuters journalist, Clauda Tanios. Allied nations are preparing for a key meeting focused on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense.

New developments Tuesday reinforced the idea that President Donald Trump has significantly shifted his view of the Ukraine war.

Sitting in the Oval Office with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and apparently fed up with being slow-walked by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump threatened the Kremlin with tough tariffs if it doesn't make a deal to end the war within 50 days. But perhaps more important was Trump's shift on weapons.

In an announcement from Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that America will send top-tier weapons to Ukraine. The military aid will be delivered through NATO countries and includes items like advanced missiles and ammunition.

President Donald Trump has finally found a way to like arming Ukraine: ask European allies to donate their weapons, and sell them American replacements.
