Trump says the US to send more weapons to Ukraine, days after ordering pause in deliveries
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – President Trump reversed last week's pause on arms shipments to Ukraine, pledging more defensive weapons amid escalating Russian attacks and urgent Ukrainian requests for air defense.
- On Monday evening at the White House, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. plans to provide additional primarily defensive arms to Ukraine in response to intensified Russian attacks.
- This statement followed a decision last week to halt some weapon shipments to Ukraine as part of a broader review prompted by concerns over U.S. military stockpiles.
- Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he was not happy and that he made no progress in recent talks, while Ukraine sought Patriot missile systems from the U.S.
- Officials stated that Russian attacks resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen civilians and caused injuries to upwards of 80 people, including several children, with damage reported across various regions of Ukraine amid a surge in missile and drone strikes.
- The renewed weapon support aims to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and suggests continued U.S. engagement despite the earlier shipment pause under inventory and policy reviews.
