Overview

• Following a meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN, President Trump said Ukraine can "win all of Ukraine back" and labeled Russia a "paper tiger."
• He said the United States will continue supplying weapons to NATO for allies to use or transfer to Kyiv, while stopping short of promising direct U.S. involvement.
• Trump endorsed NATO allies shooting down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace after recent incursions over Estonia and Poland, though Germany urged caution against escalation.
• He called on European countries to stop buying Russian oil and floated tougher tariffs or sanctions, as Hungary refused to cut imports and the EU weighed limits on Druzhba pipeline flows, according to Bloomberg reporting.
• Zelenskyy welcomed the shift and voiced hope for measures that push Russia toward peace, while a Russian UN envoy dismissed Trump’s statements.
