He stopped giving away military equipment directly to Ukraine for free. He now sells it to NATO who gives it to Ukraine for free, which has shifted a large portion of the cost of the war from the US to Europe. This was already the plan under Biden though as well, and had already begun under him. Europeans can get mad at Trump for shifting the cost of the war onto them, without being critical of the war itself. A great way to launder it by Trumpwashing the unpopular aspects like budget cuts to social services.

Look, we didn't want to cut your meemaws pension and healthcare but the Russians are invading and attacking Western Civilization, and also the evil dictator Trump (our ally btw) forced the costs onto us unfairly because he's a Russian puppet!

I think there was a moment where he briefly relaxed some restrictions on purchasing Russian oil to minimize some immediate crisis related to the war on Iran. Libs were pretty worked up and acted like he had killed Zelensky.

I mean Biden had already started reducing the amount of munitions going to Ukraine largely so they could get sent to the Zionist entity instead.
