Overview

  • Trump set a 50-day deadline for a ceasefire, warning of 100 percent secondary tariffs on Russia and its trading partners if no deal is reached
  • NATO allies agreed to finance a $10 billion package of Patriot batteries, air-defense weapons and artillery for transfer to Ukraine
  • The Kremlin dismissed the ultimatum as unacceptable, said it needs time to analyse the proposal and indicated willingness to negotiate afterward
  • Russian forces have escalated drone and missile strikes to record levels against Ukrainian targets during the analysis period
  • U.S. officials authorized full-range ATACMS for Ukraine but excluded Tomahawk cruise missiles from the current aid package to limit the risk of further escalation
