US Resumes Sending some Weapons to Ukraine After Pentagon Pause

UKRAINE, JUL 9 – Pete Hegseth halted military aid to Ukraine without notifying the White House, prompting confusion and urgent efforts to explain the decision to Congress and Kyiv.

  • In early July 2025, the Trump administration restarted shipments of certain defensive arms to Ukraine following a temporary halt ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth the previous week.
  • Hegseth ordered the pause without notifying President Trump or the White House, prompting surprise and frustration amid ongoing Russian attacks in Ukraine.
  • The interruption delayed deliveries of Patriot defense systems, guided GMLRS rockets, Hellfire missiles, and Howitzer ammunition during a critical period when Ukraine faced heightened defensive demands.
  • Trump said at a Cabinet meeting, “Putin is not treating human beings right” and confirmed approval to continue defensive aid including over 3 million 155mm artillery rounds sent since February 2022.
  • The resumption of shipments signals continued U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s defense despite internal coordination issues and evolving tensions with Russia.
