Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to announce a sweeping overhaul of its Ukraine strategy, prompted by the president’s mounting frustration with Vladimir Putin’s conduct. The announcement comes as special envoy Keith Kellogg arrives in Kyiv for critical talks.
Trump’s stance on Putin has shifted from cautious engagement to open condemnation, with the president publicly criticizing Russia’s attacks on civilians and calling Putin “absolutely CRAZY!”
Ukraine’s civilian population has suffered unprecedented losses, with June’s casualties the highest since the war began. Russian bombardments have overwhelmed Ukraine’s air defenses, demanding urgent Western intervention.
The U.S. will provide Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, with EU funding ensuring rapid deployment. This coordinated transatlantic effort is expected to boost Western military support and is underscored by NATO’s active involvement.
