Overview

• After a UN meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Trump posted that Ukraine, with EU and NATO support, can “WIN all of Ukraine back” and described Russia as a “paper tiger.”
• Pressed by reporters, he said NATO allies should shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace, while adding that U.S. support in such cases “depends on the circumstance.”
• Trump said the United States will continue supplying weapons to NATO for the alliance to use and urged Europe to tighten economic pressure, including cutting Russian energy purchases.
• The comments follow reported incursions involving Russian jets and drones over Estonia and Poland that triggered NATO warnings and drew both support and caution from European officials.
• Bloomberg reporting cited by Ukrainian outlets says the European Commission is reviewing curbs on Druzhba pipeline oil to Hungary and Slovakia alongside proposals to restrict Russian LNG and sanction shadow‑fleet tankers.
