Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly warned U.S. President Donald Trump that Russia plans to intensify its offensive in Ukraine over the next two months, aiming to seize territories up to the full administrative borders of the regions it currently occupies.
According to Axios, which cited sources familiar with the matter, Trump relayed this conversation to French President Emmanuel Macron, saying: “He wants to take everything.”
The report suggests that this private exchange triggered a shift in Trump’s tone, prompting him to criticize Putin publicly and to authorize new arms deliveries to Ukraine.
An official announcement regarding these deliveries is expected today, with significant military support reportedly on the table—though the exact details remain undisclosed.
Trump is said to be increasingly frustrated by Putin’s unwavering determination to continue the war.
