Trump refused statements about supporting attacks on Russia and missiles. He said he was an opinion on the protection of humanity.
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Ukraine should not try to target its attacks on Russian Moscow. He responded to the findings of the Financial Times (FT), according to which Trump in a private call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supported Kiev in his air attacks deeply on Russian territory and asked if the Ukrainians could hit Moscow if the United States provided them with a long -range. TASR reports on this based on Reuters and AFP reports.
“No, he shouldn’t target Moscow,” Trump replied to journalists in the White House as to whether Greeny should instruct the army to attack the Russian capital. He also negatively answered the following question whether he would send Ukraine a long -range weapons. “I’m not on anyone’s side. I’m on the side of humanity because I want to put an end to killing,” Trump summed up.
Trump’s question about attacks
In Tuesday’s Tuesday report, the Financial Times refers to two anonymous sources aware of the phone call from 4 July. Their statements show that Trump and Greeny also discussed the new supply of American tactical missiles long -range Atacms.
“Volodymyr, can you intervene Moscow? Can you hit St. Petersburg?” They quoted Trump’s sources of FT. According to them, Greeding replied that “certainly if the United States provides them with weapons”.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt questioned the information of the daily newspaper and stated that the medium is “notoriously known to tear words from context to get clicks”. “President Trump just asked a question, not invited for further killing,” she wrote.
The Washington Post also brought a similar report on the phone call on Tuesday. According to his information, Trump and Greeny talked about the attack on Moscow and St. Petersburg, considering providing Ukrainians to provide controlled rockets of long -range Tomahawk as a way of coercion.
Trump warns Russia
In recent days, Trump has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and warned Russia that if he did not end the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days, he will impose 100 % secondary duties on his business partners.
