US EditionKremlin says it will take time to clarify what weapons US will send to Ukraine after Trump remarks
UKRAINE, JUL 8 – The United States commits to increasing defensive arms shipments to Ukraine amid Russia's control of nearly 20% of Ukrainian territory, officials said.
- On Monday, July 7, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced plans to provide Ukraine with additional primarily defensive arms to support its efforts against escalating Russian military advances.
- This announcement followed a recent call between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, who praised it as their best conversation and discussed joint weapons production and air defense.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded on Tuesday, July 8, stating many contradictory statements exist about US arms supplies while confirming European deliveries continue amid ongoing Russian territorial control and advances.
- Peskov said: "Obviously, supplies are continuing, that's clear," while also calling US sanctions illegal and harmful to entrepreneurs and noting Moscow appreciates Trump's efforts toward negotiations.
- The situation suggests ongoing complexity in arms provision and diplomacy, with Russia consolidating territory, Ukraine requiring more air defense, and persistent uncertainties over future US supplies.
