\u201cPutin clearly demonstrates his complete disregard for the United States and all those who have called for an end to the war,\u201d said Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, adding that he believes Russia deliberately launched an attack after the call with Trump. He called for further sanctions on Moscow and defensive weapons for Kyiv.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Polish Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw\u00a0Sikorski said Friday<\/a>\u00a0that the consular section of the Polish embassy was also damaged as a result of the overnight strikes by Russia. \u201cI just spoke with Ambassador \u0141ukasiewicz; everyone is safe and sound. Ukraine urgently needs air defense resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n During the call with Trump, Putin insisted that Russia would not back down from its original goals in the war, a Kremlin aide said<\/a>, including addressing its \u201croot causes\u201d \u2014 a phrase Russia uses to argue that Ukraine posed security threats that justified its invasion.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin, because I don\u2019t think he\u2019s there, and I\u2019m very disappointed,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI\u2019m just saying I don\u2019t think he\u2019s looking to stop, and that\u2019s too bad.\u201d<\/p>\n Since the start of the year, Russia has intensified its aerial attacks, launching multiple record-setting barrages in recent weeks. In June alone, Moscow launched 5,337 Iranian-designed Shahed drones<\/a> \u2014 by far the highest monthly total since its full-scale invasion started in February 2022.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Pentagon halted shipments of promised air defense missiles to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low, POLITICO reported Tuesday<\/a>. Ukrainian officials warn that the aid freeze will only encourage Russia<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cPutin clearly demonstrates his complete disregard for the United States and all those who have called for an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[2594,28,473,32,2595,34,2000,299,6084,660,2597,2598,8723,332,2663,657,49,333,2601,771,1116],"class_list":{"0":"post-238375","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-air-defense","9":"tag-buildings","10":"tag-defense","11":"tag-donald-trump","12":"tag-drones","13":"tag-emmanuel-macron","14":"tag-eu","15":"tag-europe","16":"tag-infrastructure","17":"tag-kremlin","18":"tag-military","19":"tag-missiles","20":"tag-pentagon","21":"tag-russia","22":"tag-sanctions","23":"tag-ukraine","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-vladimir-putin","26":"tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","27":"tag-war","28":"tag-weapons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
