Rubio says Ukraine interceptors may not have been delivered, but not for political reasons
Rubio said the Pentagon had not deliberately withheld interceptors for Ukraine as Reuters reported a delay in a NATO-funded weapons package.
- On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged in Mumbai, India, that interceptors purchased for Ukraine under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List program may not have been delivered.
- US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has not authorized the latest weaponry package under PURL, as relations between Kyiv and Washington have deteriorated this month while President Donald Trump courted Moscow.
- Rubio held a 45-minute conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday, stating, "There's nothing being deliberately denied to Ukraine."
- US officials reportedly threatened to halt the PURL mechanism to pressure Kyiv to stop deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, coinciding with Trump's announced Ukraine energy ceasefire with Russia.
- Zelenskiy emphasized the need to restore Starlink and Starshield satellite services, which are critical for early warning of Russian attacks during his discussion with Rubio.
