The main difference between the two American presidents is their approach to ending the war in Ukraine. However, as is already clear, former US President Joe Biden failed to end the fighting, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Donald Trump has said that US weapons are already “being shipped” to Ukraine as Washington ramps up its military support for Kyiv. A number of Kyiv’s European allies will purchase Patriot air defence missile systems from the US to assist Ukraine’s defence.

Putin invaded Ukraine just over 13 months into Biden's White House term. Between February 24, 2022, and January 20, 2025, the U.S. became the world's biggest supplier of weapons and aid for Ukraine's fight, pledging over $175 billion in support.

Kremlin officials have rejected US President Donald Trump's demand to reach a peace deal on Ukraine within 50 days. Moscow has stressed that it will continue to "pursue its war aims" despite international pressure and economic sanctions.

President Trump’s abrupt pivot to aggressively arming Ukraine is not about achieving a total military victory, but rather a calculated strategy to force a recalcitrant Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.

Kaja Kallas, the EU Commission Vice President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, discussed Russia's offensive against Ukraine during a press conference prior to the EU Foreign Affairs Meeting in Brussels.

Russia launched four missiles and 136 drones into Ukraine overnight into Monday morning, according to Ukraine's air force.
