The US is preparing to take a pivotal step in the Russia-Ukraine war. American politicians, including Senator Lindsey Graham, have announced record-breaking arms deliveries to Ukraine. The military aid is set to intensify, with President Donald Trump deciding the scale but emphasizing that EU countries should bear most of the cost.
Meanwhile, a Senate bill proposes tough new sanctions that could affect countries like China, India, and Brazil if they continue to support Russia. The legislation allows for imposing percentage tariffs, while still granting the US president power to revoke such measures if needed.
Separately, the US government is debating whether to confiscate all of Russia’s frozen assets—about $300 billion—or to use only the earned interest to support Ukraine.
Trump’s strategy is to boost Ukraine’s battlefield advantage without spending from the US budget, relying instead on European partners. Media reports suggest the plan may include long-range missiles capable of striking deep within Russian territory.
The new American plan aims to force Putin to the negotiating table. Ukrainian defenders are calling for continued donations, especially for purchasing drones. Thanks to these contributions, hundreds of FPV drones have already reached the frontline, helping save lives and resist Russian aggression.
Despite these encouraging signals from the US, experts caution that Trump’s position could shift quickly. Ukrainians are urged to remain cautiously optimistic and continue supporting the defense forces.
