ABC News: Trump approves sale of new arms to Ukraine amid escalated fighting

President Donald Trump has approved the sale of more lethal arms to Ukraine as the country fights off Russian-backed fighters in its east -- despite the president’s recent overtures for cooperation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But while the latest sale is a new gift to the Ukrainian government, Trump still has not made a decision on whether to provide a more powerful lethal-aid package that includes anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles -- a proposal recommended by his National Security Council and awaiting his approval for months now.

Putin will just face continued international condemnation and sanctions. The Ukraine medling is perhaps his worst move yet. Just last year people were hailing him as this genius power player. Now he gets caught with his hands in the cookie jar (see your Russian spying in Ukraine post)..time for a more competent Russian president imo.. someone who brings Russia back to the international community. ..I just don't see any net positives for Russia to continue on this path. ..on top you have the Syria fiasco...how he stays in power is beyond me

Candidate Trump was right when suggesting we should steer clear of this. President Trump has lost his way on this issue.

You mean Putin? Yeah he's suspected to be one of the richest men on Earth. .quite impressive how a president's salary of just about what I make per year makes him a billionaire and I somehow still don't have my billions...not even millions ..weird. Maybe my billions are hidden somewhere and I just don't know? :)
