Trump asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy whether Ukraine could strike Moscow, an inquiry that the White House says was merely a question but one that came hours after he voiced frustration at Putin’s refusal to accept a ceasefire.

President Donald Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy whether Kyiv could strike Moscow using US-supplied long-range missiles during a phone call on July 4. The question came just one day after Trump held a separate conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
