This conversation occurred on July 4, according to sources cited by the Financial Times. During the call, Trump asked Zelenskyy if Ukraine could strike military targets deep inside Russia if the U.S. provided the necessary weapons.“Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? . . . Can you hit St Petersburg too?” Trump asked on the call, according to the sources.Zelenskyy responded, "Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons."The sources also claimed that Trump signaled his support for strikes on Russia, describing a strategy to "make them [Russians] feel the pain" and push Moscow to the negotiating table."A western official, who had been informed of the call, said the conversation reflected a growing desire among Ukraine’s western partners to supply long-range weapons capable of “bringing the war to Muscovites” — a sentiment echoed privately by American officials in recent weeks," the report added.Earlier this week, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee approved the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the fiscal year 2026, which includes $500 million in security assistance for Ukraine.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held phone calls on the evening of July 14 with U.S. President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
