Trump sets Russia a 50-day deadline: massive arms aid for Ukraine!
In a surprising twist, Donald Trump has given Russia a 50-day ultimatum to end its aggressive invasion of Ukraine. If an agreement is not reached within that deadline, the Kremlin could face tough sanctions, including a possible increase in tariffs to 100 percent on all Russian products imported into the United States. This reports imazpress.
In an appearance with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump stressed that the move was a "big" decision motivated by Russia's inability to agree on peace. Trump once again expressed his disappointment with the attitude of President Vladimir Putin, who is unwilling to back down from his demands regarding Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Armament supplies and international support
A key point in Trump's announcement is massive military support for Ukraine, coordinated by NATO partners such as Germany, the United Kingdom and Norway. Among other things, several billion dollars will be allocated in the form of weapons, ammunition and, in particular, modern Patriot anti-aircraft systems to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities. This information comes from NZZ.
The materials will not be delivered directly to Ukraine, but initially through NATO, which, according to Trump, puts the responsibility on the European partners without burdening US taxpayers. “NATO countries will pay for the weapons,” Trump clarified, making it clear that this measure also represents a strategic step to strengthen collective security in Europe.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude for US support. “We really appreciate this step because it gives us new hope in the fight against aggression,” Zelensky said. Meanwhile, the media reported that airstrikes by Russian forces have increased in recent days, underscoring the urgency of this support CBC.
Criticism and reactions
Despite the positive feedback from Kiev, there were also critical voices in US politics. Some senators are calling for punitive tariffs on Russian imports to come into force sooner. Trump's announcement could also be seen as an attempt to increase pressure on Putin as the international community is concerned about his military actions. Trump himself expressed restraint and used critical but not overly harsh words about the Russian president in his speech.
To understand this sudden change of course, it is helpful to consider the results of the last few weeks: Russian attacks have had a devastating impact in Ukraine, while the Ukrainian armed forces are constantly having to develop new defensive strategies.
Amid this complex geopolitical landscape, it remains to be seen whether Trump's ultimatum can actually lead to an end to hostilities or whether Russia and the West end up in another conflict. The next 50 days could be crucial.
