"Putin really surprised a lot of people," the US president said on Sunday night. "He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening."

President Donald Trump told NBC he struck a deal with NATO on Thursday for the US to send weapons to Ukraine through the alliance, and that NATO will pay for those weapons “a hundred percent.”

U.S. military and NATO officials are discussing a possible plan that could be unveiled in the coming days to provide Ukraine with much-needed aerial defense weapons.
