Russia's stock market rose sharply after Donald Trump's comments at the White House, suggesting that it had feared a stronger response from the US president.

State news agency TASS quotes Russian market analysts as saying it had experienced a dip caused by "false pessimistic expectations" ahead of his news conference with the Nato chief.

"The market was fearful of serious steps on Russia, but the reality turned out to be softer," analyst Natalia Pyryeva told TASS.

Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, tepidly praised Trump's decision to send weapons to Ukraine. The president is "finally coming to his senses", she said.

"This move is a positive, but overdue, step for Ukraine and for our shared goal of a just and durable peace," she said in a press release. "This announcement sends a powerful signal that NATO will not back down in the face of Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine and his attempts to undermine our alliance."

She continued by saying today's announcement will not be enough to bring Putin to the table for peace talks and that Trump needs to commit to long-term assistance for Ukraine.

A bipartisan-backed bill teed up in the Senate would impose sanctions on Russia until the Kremlin agreed to negotiations and stopped military assaults. Shaheen says that legislation needs to be passed.

"Now is the time to match words with actions and bring this war to an end," she said.

Russia's 'shadow fleet' could help dodge secondary tariffspublished at 19:11 British Summer Time 14 July

In the wake of Western sanctions imposed for its invasion of Ukraine, Russia has devised a whole system for avoiding them - and it could be useful for helping its trading partners avoid the secondary tariffs threatened by Trump.

For example, Russia's so-called "shadow fleet", consisting of hundreds of tankers with obscure ownership, could be used to conceal the origin of exported Russian oil and gas.

This is important given that oil and gas account for almost a third of Russia's state revenue and more than 60% of its exports.

President Trump said repeatedly he was very unhappy and disappointed with Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Sitting beside Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, he said he had a made a deal where the US would send weapons to Ukraine but Nato would pay for them, adding that Washington wasn’t going to make any payment.

Trump also vowed to impose what he called 100% secondary tariffs on Russia, thought to mean US tariffs on countries who continue to trade with Moscow, if Russia doesn’t strike a peace deal with Ukraine in 50 days.

Asked to clarify what kinds of weapons were involved in the deal, Trump said "everything" including Patriot missiles and batteries - which Ukraine desperately needs to find off long range missile strikes from Russia.

The plan is thought to involve Germany and other European countries sending some of their existing Patriot missile stocks to Ukraine, before being replenished with new ones from the US.

So far we’ve been keeping you updated on Trump’s latest plans to end Russia's invasion, so here's look at what’s been happening in Ukraine today:

• Volodymyr Zelensky says he had a "productive conversation" with US special envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg
• Ukraine's president says they spoke of "strengthening Ukraine’s air defence, joint production, and procurement of defence weapons in collaboration with Europe"
• Just after the meeting air raid sirens went off in the capital Kyiv, triggered by a Russian fighter jet taking off, but the alert only lasted a few minutes
• Ukrainian air defences took down 108 Russian drones launched overnight, according to the country's air force. In total, Russia used 136 drones in the attack, including decoys
• At least six civilians have been killed in the last 24 hours, according to Ukrainian reports
• Zelensky has submitted a bill to the country's parliament to extend martial law and conscription until 5 November

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine it’s trade relationship with the United States has fallen off a cliff.

Before the war it was worth just over $36bn (£27bn) a year but it’s now less than 10% of that, although the US continues to buy significantly more from Russia than the other way round.

It’s dominated by the US buying things for which Russia is a major global supplier, with the top sellers being various forms of fertilizers, inorganic chemicals and nuclear material.

These are now set to face a 100% tariff if these measures go ahead, that would make them more expensive for their US importers.

Even if that added cost meant Russia lost all its sales it would be a drop in the ocean for an economy estimated to be worth $2.4 trillion last year.

That’s why President Trump says he will use secondary sanctions to try and hurt Russia financially, which the White House has clarified these will target other countries who buy Russian oil.

Despite US and EU sanctions Russia is still bringing in more than $300bn a year from fossil fuel sales according to BBC analysis - and a third of it coming from America’s Nato allies.

Many of these countries are trying to wean themselves off Russian fuels but it was Nato’s Secretary-General Mark Rutte who was sitting besides Trump as he made the announcement.

Given that oil and gas account for almost a third of Russia's state revenue and more than 60% of its exports these tariffs could make something of a dent in how much money President Putin has to fund his war in Ukraine.

The difficulty will be enforcing them, as years of evasion has proven.

Fifty days is a long time on the frontlinepublished at 18:15 British Summer Time 14 July

After all the missed deadlines, Donald Trump comes up with another one for Vladimir Putin to meet: a deal in 50 days, or 100% secondary tariffs will be slapped on Russia's trading partners.

Fifty days is a long time on the frontline, but Ukraine will be hoping that at least it will have more weapons to defend itself with, such as hugely expensive, sophisticated and effective Patriot air defence systems.

It will be worried, though, by the US president's remarks that it should not "feel emboldened".

Apart from the Patriots, we know little about what else Ukraine will be getting exactly, and how much of it. It is clear, though, that for Trump money is no less important

Meanwhile, the first reactions from Russia are starting to come in.

"If this is all Trump had to say about Ukraine today, then so far it's been much ado about nothing," says Russian upper house deputy speaker Konstantin Kosachev.

"In 50 days so much can change both on the battlefield and in the moods of the powers that be in the US and Nato. The most important thing is that this doesn't affect our moods in the slightest," he adds in a post on social media.

On the face of it this, this is a major shift in Donald Trump's approach to the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Up until now, weapons shipments were legacy arrangements from the Biden administration.

But he's now greenlighting the transfer of fresh stocks of not just defensive weapons such as Patriot missile batteries to defend Ukraine's skies, but also offensive weapons including missiles and munitions with the potential to strike deep inside Russia.

However, there is one big caveat - European governments will be footing the bill - 100% of it.

Despite maintaining his hard line on who should pay for the weapons, the president also sounded a new and unusual tone of something approaching warmth towards his European allies - who have often been at the sharp end of his tongue.

Trump's rhetoric on Vladimir Putin has become increasingly harsh in recent weeks - with the president particularly angered after one recent phone call which was followed by Russia's heaviest bombardment of the Ukrainian capital since the beginning of the war.

Today, he said he was very disappointed and unhappy with the Russian leader - and gave Moscow 50 days to come to an agreement, after which he vowed 100% secondary sanctions - which would hurt not just Russia, but others who do business with it such as China and India.

President Trump is currently speaking at an event in the White House.

He tells those attending the lunch that he had a great meeting with Nato secretary general Mark Rutte, laying out the details of what they agreed - which we've summarised here.

Trump repeats that the US "thought we had four deals with Putin", repeating his frustration with the Russian president over attacking Ukraine shortly after the pair speak over the phone.

In a nutshell, any country that continues to do trade with Russia will face a big tax to sell their products to the US.

If, for example, India keeps buying oil from Russia – which it has continued to do since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 – US companies who purchase goods from India would have to pay a 100% import tax, or tariff, when the products reach American shores.

The idea is it makes these goods so expensive, US businesses would choose to buy them cheaper elsewhere, resulting in lost revenue for India.

The intention is also to hobble Russia’s economy. Theoretically, if it is unable to generate money by selling oil to other nations, it will have less cash to finance the war in Ukraine.

The White House has said it would only implement secondary tariffs on countries if a deal to end the war is not reached with Russia in 50 days.

Countries currently trying to reach a separate trade deal with the US are unlikely to relish a further tax down the line if it comes to that.

The main announcement in US President Donald Trump's "mega statement" from the Oval Office was the addition of secondary tariffs on Russia of 100% if "we don't have a deal within 50 days".

Trump also confirmed what had been previously said - that top of the line weapons would be sent to Ukraine in an operation which would be co-ordinated by Nato.

During the meeting with Nato secretary general Mark Rutte, Trump said he was "very unhappy" with Russia and "disappointed" in President Vladimir Putin, adding that he wanted the war in Ukraine to end.

Rutte described the deal as really big, confirming that the weapons would be paid for by European nations, a decision the alliance's leader described as "totally logical". The value of the weapons amounts to billions of dollars.

Trump also said he speaks to Putin a lot, describing the conversations as very pleasant. But he goes on to say that the talk doesn't mean anything once the missiles start hitting cities.

He also wouldn't be drawn on how far he was willing to go in response if Putin escalates.

"Don't get me started on that," the president responded, adding that he wants to "get the war settled".

On the face of it, today’s announcements from the White House are extremely encouraging for Ukraine.

Kyiv will be even more heartened once it sees the promised defensive weapons turn up inside its borders.

But when it comes to President Trump’s 50-day ultimatum to Russia for a ceasefire, well, we have rather been here before and high hopes were collectively dashed by both Presidents Trump and Putin.

In May, the leaders of four major European nations, France, Germany, the UK and Poland, came to Kyiv and laid down a ceasefire ultimatum to Moscow or face crippling sanctions.

But President Putin swiftly averted this by offering 'direct talks' with Ukraine in Istanbul, which Trump more or less ordered Ukraine’s leader to attend. He duly did, Putin didn’t show up and Trump did nothing.

Net effect: the ceasefire ultimatum went nowhere.

This time may be different. Donald Trump is, at least in public, venting his frustration with Vladimir Putin.

But 50 days gives the Kremlin plenty of room for manoeuvre. Time, in other words, in which to come up with a counter offer that forestalls the threatened sanctions.

At the present rate of fire, 50 days also theoretically gives Russia time to launch up to a further 25,000 drones and missiles at Ukraine during its nightly bombardments.

A dramatic foreign policy about-face for Trumppublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 14 July

Back in April, Donald Trump publicly wondered whether Russian President Vladimir Putin was sincerely interested in ending the war in Ukraine, as he continued a bombing campaign that included targeting civilian structures.

“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war; he’s just tapping me along,” he posted on his Truth Social social media platform.

Although he initially set a two-week deadline, it appears that nearly three months later the American president has finally run out of patience.

He has promised new US arms shipments to Ukraine, paid for by Nato, and threatened substantial new tariffs on Russia and those who do business with Moscow.

Although Trump was not clear under what authority he would institute these new sanctions, Congress appears poised to enact new legislation that would give him new ways to penalise Russian intransigence.

It all amounts to a dramatic foreign policy about-face for a man who had promised a quick peace and seemed to view Ukraine, not Russia, as the primary obstacle.

The last time Trump executed such a sudden shift – on last month’s US military strikes on Iran – non-interventionists in his base balked.

This Russia move will once again test the president’s will and the loyalty of those who have taken his “America first” rhetoric to heart.

President Trump is asked how far he is willing to go in response if Putin was to escalate matters.

"Don't ask me a question like that," Trump snaps in response, adding he "wants to get the war settled".

"Ultimately, having a strong Europe is a very good thing," Trump continues.

Trump and Rutte's talk to the media has now finished. We'll continue to bring you the latest reaction and analysis right here on this page.

Trump says Moscow needs to get Russia's economy back on track.

He says Russia has "tremendous potential" and adds that it should use its resources for trade rather than a war.

"I speak to him a lot," Trump says of Russia's President Putin.

He says the conversations are very pleasant, but adds the talk "doesn't mean anything" once missiles hit cities.

The Moscow stock exchange index has just risen sharply following Donald Trump's announcement on measures against Russia.

Analysts say this may be because of the fact that investors were expecting Trump to pledge even harsher measures.

Previously, reports indicated that secondary tariffs of 500% were planned.

Today, the US president announced secondary tariffs of 100%, to be implemented within 50 days if no ceasefire deal is agreed.

Trump is asked if it Patriot missiles are being sent to Ukraine or Patriot batteries.

“Everything. It's everything,” he replies.

The president elaborates, saying that countries will send their own Patriots to Ukraine, with the US sending those countries replacements.

Nato chief Rutte follows up by saying the whole deal is also about “missiles, ammunition”.

On potential tariffs against Russia, Trump says secondary tariffs can be imposed against Russia without either the House or the Senate.

When asked about calls for a 500% tariff on Russia, he says that the number does not matter after a certain point and that 100% levies will serve the purpose.

The US president says he felt he had a deal with Russia on the Ukraine war "about four times. And here we are still talking".

"I thought we should have had a deal done a long time ago, but it just keeps going on and on an on," he says.

Trump adds that a lot of Russian soldiers and Ukrainians are dying.
