Overview

  • Trump posted that with European Union and NATO support, Ukraine is in a position to win back all of its territory, marking a reversal from earlier suggestions of concessions.
  • When asked if NATO members should shoot down Russian aircraft that enter their airspace, Trump replied yes, while saying any U.S. support would depend on circumstances.
  • Trump said the United States is prepared to impose a new round of strong tariffs on countries buying Russian oil if Moscow refuses a deal to end the war.
  • European Commission officials are reviewing trade measures that could curtail Russian oil flows via the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia, separate from a new sanctions package.
  • NATO allies reported recent violations including Russian MiG-31s over Estonia and drones over Poland, prompting jet scrambles and warnings, while Germany urged caution against escalation.
