Jin10 data reported on July 14 that two informed sources stated that Trump will announce a new plan to arm Ukraine on Monday, which is expected to include offensive weapons. Providing offensive weapons would be a significant shift for Trump, who until recently had been painstakingly stating that he would only provide defensive weapons to avoid escalating the conflict. U.S., Ukrainian, and European officials hope that these weapons can change the trajectory of the conflict and alter Putin's considerations regarding a ceasefire. Sources indicate they have reason to believe that the plan may include long-range missiles capable of striking targets deep within Russia, including Moscow. The plan was proposed by Zelensky two weeks ago at the NATO summit. The decision by Trump was prompted by a call from Putin on July 3, during which he made it clear that he plans to escalate the conflict.
