Trump's weapons u-turn on Ukraine: Changing script, or playing into Putin's hands again?| Russia war
Donald Trump just flipped on Ukraine, again. After months of calling for peace talks and resisting further aid, the U.S. president is now sending Patriot missiles to Kyiv. Why? Because Putin, his so-called "friend," bombed his trust, literally. Trump says Moscow "talks nice and bombs at night." That’s a serious accusation, and a major shift in U.S. policy. So, what changed Trump’s mind? Was it a betrayal by Putin? Or a realisation that peace was never on the table? In this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta dives deep into the messy geopolitics behind the flip-flop. From White House standoffs to secret calls and delayed weapons, we break down what this means for the war, and whether a new U.S. strategy is in the works.
