Trump reveals NATO sale to boost arms to Ukraine as Putin launches overnight maternity hospital strike

Fox News senior strategic analyst Jack Keane joins'America's Newsroom' to discuss his analysis of Putin's goals involving Ukraine as President Donald Trump indicates his patience is running thin. President Donald Trump on Thursday night revealed a new NATO deal reached during last month's summit that would allow U.S. arms to flow to Ukraine through allied nations -- an agreement reached at last month's summit. "We're sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%," Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News. "So what we're doing is the weapons that are going out are going to NATO, and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine], and NATO is paying for those weapons. "We send weapons to NATO, and NATO is going to reimburse the full cost of those weapons," he added. President Donald Trump speaks during a media conference at the end of the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Trump did not detail which weapons were included in the sales or which countries were involved in the deal -- though his comments come as European leaders signal they were prepared to purchase U.S. arms for Ukraine. Earlier this month, after the Pentagon issued a pause on some previously pledged defensive aid slated for Kyiv, reports surfaced suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had begun looking for new ways to acquire the arms his nation desperately needed. On Thursday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also told the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome that Berlin is "prepared to purchase additional Patriot systems from the U.S. to make them available to Ukraine." Trump told reporters this week that he did not approve the Pentagon's aid halt, which apparently had been done over stockpile concerns, and defensive arms have reportedly resumed transfer to Ukraine. Dozens of people were injured during the Russian drone attack on Kharkiv on July 11, 2025. Trump has increasingly voiced his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to end his war in Ukraine as Russia's assault continues to escalate in intensity and frequency, including in a series of overnight strikes that killed nine and injured 42 others across Ukraine and hit a maternity hospital. Fortunately, there were no children among the victims. Even where it is just beginning," Zelenskyy said.
