Overview

  • After meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York, President Trump posted that Ukraine can win back all its territory with EU and NATO support and called Russia a “paper tiger.”
  • Trump said the United States will continue supplying weapons to NATO for allies to use, reinforcing a pathway for support without announcing new direct U.S. aid.
  • Asked about Russian incursions into allied airspace, Trump said he supports NATO countries shooting down intruding Russian aircraft.
  • Zelenskyy urged greater pressure on Moscow, including new U.S. sanctions and stronger air-defense support, and endorsed cutting European purchases of Russian energy.
  • Allies highlighted recent airspace violations reported by Estonia and drone intrusions reported by Poland, while EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc will add sanctions and tariffs and further curb Russian energy imports.
