Trump: Ukraine shouldn’t target Moscow
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Trump set a 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire or face sanctions and privately asked Ukraine if it could strike Moscow with long-range weapons, though publicly advising against it.
- On July 22, 2025, President Trump told reporters `No, he shouldn't target Moscow,` and set a 50-day deadline for a ceasefire, warning of sanctions.
- In a July 4 call, Trump privately asked `Volodymyr, can you target Moscow?` and said it could make Putin's Russia `feel the pain.`
- Trump announced a NATO arms deal, including Tomahawk missiles with a 1,600km range and ATACMS, to support Kyiv's deep-strike capabilities.
- Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said `It's not a signal for peace, but for the continuation of the war,` while Dmitry Medvedev called it a `theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin`.
- Ahead of talks in Istanbul on Wednesday, analysts warn the 50-day window is unlikely to deter Putin's summer offensive, with negotiators set to meet, and experts caution the deadline may not influence Russia's actions.
