President Donald Trump — after repeatedly warning the Kremlin that his patience was wearing thin over its continuing invasion of Ukraine — has begun to match words with action.

As Moscow continues to flout his efforts to broker peace, Trump has agreed to give Kyiv US intelligence to support strikes on energy infrastructure deep inside Russia, helping Ukraine take the war to President Vladimir Putin’s doorstep.

Trump should now follow through by supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles to do the job — and ratcheting up the economic pressure on Russia.

Despite Putin’s professed readiness for peace, his assault on Ukraine has only intensified.

Trump struck a compromising stance at the two leaders’ Alaska summit, yet the Russian autocrat has since refused even to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart, President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Indifferent to the death and destruction he inflicts on both Ukrainians and his own citizens with each passing day, Putin has continued to insist on maximalist demands that effectively render a settlement impossible.

It’s long past time for Moscow to face consequences for its intransigence.

Trump’s decision breaks with his administration’s previous policy of blocking Ukrainian strikes inside Russia using American-supplied missiles or targeting data.

In addition to the new intelligence sharing, Trump reportedly is weighing whether to provide Ukraine with various long-range missiles.

These include the Tomahawk, which Zelensky requested during a recent meeting with the American leader.

These munitions have much longer ranges than the ATACMS ballistic missiles and Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles Ukraine previously received from the United States, Britain and France, of which Kyiv has few left.

And they pack a more powerful punch than Ukrainian-made drones, which typically carry relatively small warheads.

These new missiles would likewise add capacity and capability to Ukraine’s nascent arsenal of indigenously produced long-range missiles.

US-supplied intelligence and missiles can enhance Ukraine’s ongoing drone strike campaign against the Russian energy industry.

In recent months, Ukraine has struck over 40% of Russia’s oil refineries, causing fuel shortages and price hikes and forcing Moscow to restrict gasoline and diesel exports.

Trump should provide Ukraine with as many missiles as possible, both long-range munitions as well as additional ATACMS.

In addition, Ukraine should be permitted to use American missiles, targeting data and mission planning support for strikes on not only energy infrastructure but on other targets as well, including key military-industrial sites.

For example, Kyiv could employ the Tomahawk or another missile with similar range to strike the Russian plants making the Geran and Gerbera drones that bombard Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure night after night.

In concert, Trump should work with European and G7 allies to tighten the screws on Russia’s economy.

This effort should include an aggressive application of so-called secondary sanctions aimed at denying Moscow revenue from oil exports.

While Trump has threatened tariffs on Russian oil customers such as China, sanctions are the better option.

Harsh US tariffs have failed to convince India to ditch Russian oil — and tariffs are incompatible with Washington’s goals of securing trade deals with New Delhi and Beijing.

When it comes to economic pressure, Trump should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

He is right to push Europe to end its remaining imports of Russian energy, which have already declined dramatically since 2022.

But even though some European countries — mainly Hungary and Slovakia — continue to buy some Russian oil and gas, that is no excuse for US inaction.

If Trump refuses to sanction Russia until Europe ceases buying any Russian hydrocarbons, it’ll effectively be giving Moscow a pass to continue the killing in Ukraine.

To be sure, Putin will never abandon his decades-long obsession with making Ukraine a Russian vassal.

But over time, he perhaps could be convinced to stop shooting, at least for now, on terms Kyiv can live with.

That will require putting further military and economic pressure on Russia — and proving to Putin that neither Ukrainian forces nor Western resolve will break.
