Caption: Trump Criticizes Putin and Approves More U.S. Weapons for Ukraine. President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Vladimir Putin after approving the shipment of U.S. defensive weapons to Ukraine. Trump highlighted the rising death toll in Russia’s war with Ukraine, calling out Putin’s actions and characterizing his diplomatic gestures as “meaningless.” Trump criticized Putin during a White House meeting with cabinet officials, expressing dissatisfaction with the ongoing conflict and its impact. Trump considered supporting a Senate bill imposing steep sanctions on Russia and nations trading with Moscow, including 500% tariffs on Russian exports. The sanctions bill, sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, also targets countries that buy Russian oil, gas, and uranium. Trump confirmed approval of sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine, following an earlier commitment to help the country defend itself. Ukrainian President Zelensky stressed the urgency of increasing contacts with the U.S. for the delivery of critical military supplies, particularly air defense systems.
