DONALD Trump reportedly asked Volodymyr Zelensky whether Kyiv could strike Russia’s two biggest cities — if the US supplied the right firepower.
The bombshell July 4 call marks a stunning shift in Trump’s approach to the Ukraine war — with the peacemaker-turned-hawk now eyeing direct strikes on Russian cities to bring Putin to heel.

“Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? Can you hit St Petersburg too?” Trump asked during the call, according to the Financial Times, citing two sources briefed on the exchange.
Zelensky’s answer was swift and direct: “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons.”
Trump, far from recoiling at the idea, backed it — describing the plan as a way to “make them [Russians] feel the pain” and force the Kremlin into a ceasefire.
It’s the clearest sign yet that Trump is done playing diplomatic games with Vladimir Putin — and is now preparing to take the fight to Russia’s doorstep.
The White House has refused to comment on the bombshell report.
But it comes hot on the heels of Trump’s blistering crackdown on Moscow, including a pledge to hit Russia with 100 percent tariffs if Putin doesn’t agree to a peace deal within 50 days.
