Former President Donald Trump reportedly halted a plan to send long-range missiles to Ukraine after a direct call from Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to new revelations. The missiles, which could have allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian military infrastructure, were seen as a potential game-changer in the ongoing conflict. A leaked transcript shows Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, coordinated closely with Putin's aides to arrange the call before a key White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The move has sparked criticism from lawmakers, with some accusing Witkoff of being too sympathetic to Russian interests and calling for his dismissal. Trump defended his envoy and suggested that a negotiated deal between Ukraine and Russia would be preferable to a prolonged war.
