If Trump now permits a substantial amount of U.S. weapons to continue to flow to Ukraine, that would mark an important change.

U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly said during his campaign he would be able to end the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” upon taking office.

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

President Trump’s dramatic shift to a hardline stance against Russia is not rooted in a newfound love for Ukraine, but in a personal fury at being played for a fool by Vladimir Putin. -According to Washington insiders,
