A bipartisan bill in Congress would enable President Trump to slap "bone-crushing sanctions" on Russia, says Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.

In announcing a new weapons package for Ukraine and a ceasefire deadline for Putin, President Trump reversed his previous stance towards Russia’s invasion. But will the weapons have the intended effect for Ukraine,

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is reshuffling Ukraine's Cabinet to energize the nation and boost weapons production amid the ongoing war with Russia.

Pentagon officials said details were still being worked out, and experts doubted Mr. Trump’s threat of huge tariffs for Russian trading partners.

"Unlike past direct sanctions, secondary tariffs extend US reach globally, targeting Russia's trade partners. If enforced, they could affect at least 30-40 percent of Russia's oil sales, destabilizing its economy and rippling through global energy supplies," he warned.

Former Ukraine aid critics now back Trump's strategy requiring European funding for weapons to Kyiv after the president pivoted his frustration from Zelenskyy to Putin.

President Trump's tone has shifted both towards Putin and regarding the continuation of U.S. military support for Ukraine.
