On July 15, Jin10 reported that, according to the Financial Times, insiders revealed that Trump privately encouraged Ukraine to intensify its strikes deep into Russian territory and even asked Zelensky if Ukraine could strike Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons. This conversation took place during a call between the U.S. and Ukrainian leaders on July 4, and it is still unclear whether the U.S. will provide such weapons, but this discussion highlights Trump's growing dissatisfaction with Russian President Putin's refusal to engage in the ceasefire negotiations he proposed—Trump had vowed to resolve the war in a day. Three insiders stated that Trump's conversation with Zelensky led to the U.S. submitting a list of potential weapons to be provided to Ukraine during last week's meeting in Rome.
