Washington, D.C., July 14:U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday voiced strong disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of duplicity in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. "I thought he was someone who meant what he said — he speaks so beautifully, and then bombs people at night. We don’t like that," Trump stated during a media briefing, signaling growing frustration with Moscow’s continued military offensive.

In a significant development, President Trump confirmed that the United States will supply Patriot air defense missiles to Kyiv, although he did not disclose specific quantities. More notably, he announced a major policy shift, declaring that the U.S. will no longer finance the next tranche of military aid to Ukraine. "We are spending zero dollars. The European Union is paying for it. We’re not paying anything. It’ll be business for us," he asserted.
Trump’s remarks underscore his longstanding criticism of disproportionate defense spending within the NATO alliance. "That’s the way it should’ve been a long time ago," he added, reiterating his stance that European nations must assume a greater share of the burden for regional security.
The European Union has yet to issue an official response to this policy pivot. The announcement marks a departure from Trump’s earlier opposition to any continued military aid, and comes amid ongoing transatlantic discussions about the West’s strategic role in supporting Ukraine’s resistance to Russian aggression.
