Trump calls Ukraine's strikes on Russia an escalation that could help end the war
US President Donald Trump has described Ukraine's intensified strikes on Russian territory as an "escalation," though he believes they may help push Russia towards ending the war. Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries have triggered a fuel crisis now being addressed at the highest levels in Moscow. Trump has also announced the transfer of Patriot missile technology to Kyiv, alongside a NATO assistance package worth €140 billion. Russia says Western involvement will only prolong the conflict, as drone and missile strikes from both sides continue.
