Trump: Ukraine shouldn’t target Moscow

UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Trump sets a 50-day deadline for Russia to reach peace with Ukraine, threatening 100% tariffs and expanding military aid including Patriot missile systems, while advising Ukraine not to attack Moscow directly.

  • On July 4, 2025, during a phone conversation, US President Donald Trump inquired whether Ukrainian forces had the capability to use long-range weapons to target Moscow or St. Petersburg.
  • This inquiry was launched following a prolonged period of failed diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and peace agreement, amid Trump's growing frustration at Putin's refusal to alter his war objectives.
  • Trump announced the US would send advanced weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot air-defense batteries, and imposed a 50-day ultimatum on Putin to end the war or face severe tariffs.
  • Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp cited bipartisan US Senate support of 87 out of 100 senators for sanctions, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Trump's remarks "very serious" and needing analysis.
  • The developments mark escalating military aid and diplomatic pressure on Russia, with EU preparations for further sanctions, though Trump clarified the US is not aiming to enable Ukraine to strike deeper into Russia.
