Trump, who called Zelensky, had a sharp question...

The recent conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become a major topic of discussion on the international political stage. According to the Washington Post, during a phone call on July 4, Trump gave Zelensky a serious warning.

It is reported that Trump stressed that if Ukraine remains in a defensive position, the chances of changing the course of the war would be very low. In his view, only an offensive strategy can influence Russia. Details of this conversation were shared with the media by high-ranking Ukrainian sources.

During the conversation, Donald Trump asked Zelensky, “Can Ukraine bomb Moscow or St. Petersburg?” In response, the Ukrainian leader requested long-range strike weapons. These words sparked serious political and military debates, writes the Washington Post.

However, shortly after, Trump denied this information. He stated that he has no plans to supply Ukraine with weapons capable of reaching Russia's capitals. According to him, Ukraine may choose an offensive path, but the U.S. should not be a part of it.

White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt also clarified that Trump's words had been taken out of context by journalists. She explained that Trump was merely trying to understand the situation more deeply, not encouraging any action.

At the same time, Donald Trump is trying to portray himself as a "peace advocate." In his opinion, Ukraine's strategic decisions against Russia depend solely on Ukraine itself, and America will not support them with force.

This event has become a serious political equation in U.S.–Ukraine relations. The conversation also indicates the need to reassess the level of military cooperation between the two countries. Ukraine has repeatedly emphasized that it lacks sufficient weapons to change the battlefield situation.

In this context, Zelensky and his administration are analyzing Trump's position and statements very carefully. This could determine the political direction for Ukraine after the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
