Reuters — U.S. President Donald Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up strikes deep in Russian territory, even asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy whether he could hit Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper, citing two people familiar with the conversation, said Trump spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart in a call on July 4, a day after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump also discussed sending Ukraine U.S.-made ATACMS missiles, the FT reported, citing the same sources.
The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters could not verify the report.
Trump at the time said he had been disappointed by the call with Putin because it does not appear the Russian leader was looking to stop Russia's war against Ukraine.

**Submission Statement**
Reuters reports that Donald Trump privately urged Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory — even asking Zelensky if Kiev could target Moscow and St. Petersburg if the U.S. supplied long-range weapons.
The July 4 call between Trump and Zelensky followed Trump’s reportedly sour phone conversation with Vladimir Putin the day before. According to sources briefed on the matter, Trump asked, “Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? Can you hit St. Petersburg too?” Zelensky replied affirmatively, contingent on receiving the necessary weaponry.
The moment it happens, Kiev will be oblitirated in seconds with Kalibrs, Kinzhals and Iskanders. I doubt even Zelenskiy is that stupid to do something like this, but everything is possible nowadays.
Also: Trump is completely unhinged, or the collapse of American economy can happen any time now. Hence he lightspeeds with counterproductive tarrifs and crazy threats.
Are they about to start another fake war? And maybe drop some fake nukes?

It’s all about deflect and distract. Anything to get the masses to forget about releasing the Ep files.
