Trump expressed his frustration at what he described as “meaningless” peace gestures from Putin during a cabinet meeting. This was right after he announced that the U.S. would resume sending military supplies to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia's long-standing invasion.
His comments represent the harshest rebuke of Putin since Trump took office in 2016, contrasting sharply with his previously more favorable stance. Trump remarked, “We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin.” This shift appears to be motivated by recent frustrations with the lack of progress towards peace and more positive interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Biden administration had paused weapon deliveries to evaluate military stockpiles, a decision shrouded in uncertainty. However, the renewed commitment to supply air defense interceptors and precision-guided munitions brought relief to Ukraine, especially following a recent wave of Russian attacks on its cities.
