New developments Tuesday reinforced the idea that President Donald Trump has significantly shifted his view of the Ukraine war.

After years pressing to end U.S. aid to Ukraine, many Republicans have abandoned that position now that President Trump is supporting the country against Russian aggression.

Donald Trump privately urged Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russia, including Moscow, if supplied with advanced US weapons, signalling a pivotal policy shift in the war and raising stakes for Nato and Kremlin escalation.
