President Donald Trump will reportedly announce a new plan Monday to support Ukraine, and offensive weapons are expected to be part of the plan, sources told Axios.
Such a move would further indicate a major pivot in policy for the Trump administration towards Ukraine after Trump greenlit sending Patriot missile defense batteries to Ukraine July 7 after a temporary pause, two sources with knowledge of the plan told Axios. The president has become publicly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing the leader of stalling peace talks to continue his military campaign.
Trump is expected to announce the plan during his meeting with NATO Secretary Mark Rutte on Monday morning, according to Axios. The shipments reportedly may include long-range missiles that could strike as deep as Moscow, two sources told Axios, though neither source was aware of any final decision.
