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 He asked if the Ukrainians could hit Moscow if the United States had provided them with a long -range weapons. 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 any side. I am on the side of humanity because I want to put an end to killing,” summed up Trump.
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, Greenya 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, did not call for another killing,” She wrote.
The Washington Post also brought a similar report on the phone call on Tuesday. According to his information, Trump talked about the attack on Moscow and St. Petersburg And he considered the Ukrainians to provide managed missiles of long -range Tomahawk as a way of coercion.
Trump has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin in recent days and warned Russiathat if it does not end the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days, it will impose 100 % secondary duties on its business partners.
