President Donald Trump has triumphantly unveiled plans to send weapons to Ukraine last week – via European allies.

Donald Trump triumphantly unveiled a plan to send weapons to Ukraine last week as though it was going to be a major turning point in the three-year war.

The US president declared that European allies would donate their munitions to the war-torn country, and then buy the replacements off the States.

He also imposed a 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to peace – or threatened to impose 100% sanctions on US.

It follows the president’s growing frustration with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, as he refuses to compromise on his war goals and stop attacking Ukraine.

Unsurprisingly, Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte – who famously called Trump “daddy” last month – immediately praised the announcement.

“Mr President, dear Donald, this is really big. This is really big,” he said while sat next to Trump in the Oval Office.

After praising the news as a “significant shift”, UK defence secretary John Healey is hosting 50 allied nations on Monday........
