Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Ukraine reported on July 4 that Ukraine should not target Moscow after reporting that Trump personally encouraged Ukraine to expand its attack on Russia.
The outlet quoted an anonymous source, and Trump asked if Ukraine could do so if the United States provided long -range weapons.
But this week, the Republican President said the United States would “not.”
The White House said in a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, “I was simply asking a question,” he said in a statement.
“He is trying to prevent murder and end this war,” Karoline Leavitt reporter continued.
On Monday, Trump announced that it would send a weapon to Ukraine and warned more tariffs on Russia if he had not signed a ceasefire contract with Ukraine in 50 days.
The president said that if he did not reach a peace contract with Ukraine, the United States would impose a 100% second tariff on the remaining Russian trade partners.
Trump says “everything,” including defensive Patriot missiles, but the exact details are not known.
Mark Route NATO said he is still working on the details of the weapons agreed to the US, Europe and Ukraine.
In recent weeks, Russia has expanded drones and missile attacks in Ukraine, killing more than 230 civilians in June.
According to the Financial Times, Trump’s Zelen Ski was asked whether he could attack Moscow after the “bad” call between the US and Putin.
“VolodyMyr, can you hit Moscow? … Can you hit St. Petersburg?” Trump asked by a separate phone with Zelensky.
Ukraine has achieved several goals inside Russia with missiles provided by the United States and the United Kingdom this year.
After returning to the White House in January, Trump promised to end the Russian war in Ukraine.
However, this promise has been proven to be more complicated than expected, and Trump was more frustrated due to lack of progress in ending conflict with Russian leaders.
On Monday, Trump said he was “disappointed” by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the BBC. “But I was not with him,” he added.
Trump also said that Putin is “working” to end murder in Ukraine.
“We will have a big conversation. ‘Okay, I think we are close to ending it.”
Earlier this year, a second round between Russia and Ukraine was held, but no other meeting was scheduled.
A spokesman for Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Kremlin, said on Tuesday that Trump’s tariffs and weapons to Ukraine are “not a signal for peace, but a war.”
