The Trump administration is preparing a major reset of its Ukraine strategy, driven by President Trump’s public frustration with Vladimir Putin’s conduct. The announcement coincides with the deployment of special envoy Keith Kellogg to Kyiv for urgent talks.
Trump’s rhetoric has shifted dramatically, with the president now openly denouncing Putin’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians. This marks a stark departure from his earlier diplomatic overtures.
Ukraine’s civilian casualties have reached record highs, with June being the deadliest month to date. Russian bombardment has pushed Ukraine’s air defenses to the brink, necessitating immediate Western intervention.
The U.S. will supply Patriot air defense systems, with the European Union ensuring rapid deployment through funding. This coordinated response is bolstered by congressional support and NATO’s active role in crisis management.
