Trump criticizes Putin after approving more weapons for Ukraine

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Trump reversed a Pentagon pause on weapons shipments, approving new defensive arms for Ukraine amid escalating Russian attacks and considers additional sanctions on Moscow.

  • On July 8, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin after approving additional weapons support for Ukraine in Washington, D.C.
  • This followed a tense July 3 phone call where Putin rejected Trump's cease-fire request and escalated attacks that killed hundreds, including children.
  • Trump expressed being "very unhappy" with Putin, accusing him of wanting to "go all the way and just keep killing people" while discussing sending Patriot missiles to Kyiv.
  • Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a bill with over 80 co-sponsors to grant Trump authority for new sanctions and tariffs on Russia and its supporters.
  • Amid rising civilian casualties and stalled peace talks, Trump's tougher rhetoric and weapons approval suggest increased U.S. pressure on Moscow to end its war aims in Ukraine.
