25 分钟It's 1240 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
And this week delivered the strongest signs yet that Donald Trump has run out of patience with Vladimir Putin.
First, the promise to sell more weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies.
Then, a new 50-day deadline for peace,
reinforced by the threat of secondary tariffs that target countries dealing in Russian oil and gas.
And finally, we had reports, and they were sourced on multiple media outlets,
of a private call in which Donald Trump asked President Zelensky
if he had the capacity to strike Moscow.
So will all of this force Russia to the negotiating table,
or is the Kremlin safe in the knowledge it has weeks more to wage its war without meaningful consequences?
We'll attempt to answer that and plenty more on Ukrainecast.

Life is not safe in Ukraine, nor we're in Ukraine.
We've had three years of bloody conflict now.
We need to get to that lasting peace.
We hope we can finish this war this year.
President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into Uncle Sucker.
Biden was just enemy.
Trump is rival.
Ukrainians will pay lives for this decision.
