Ukraine cautiously welcomes US support

On Monday, US President Trump gave Russia 50 days to end its war in Ukraine or face tough new sanctions, while announcing plans to supply Kyiv with weapons via NATO. The move pressures Russia to negotiate and hopes to limit its strikes, though Putin’s position may not change, as FRANCE 24’s Emmanuelle Chaze explains. Ukraine needs Patriot air defense systems, but delivery details are unclear. Trump secured a deal shifting the US from giving to selling weapons, aiming to protect Ukraine against Russian aggression.
