At a White House dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the United States would once again provide defence weapons to Ukraine in an effort to help the nation repel growing Russian attacks. The promise follows a brief Pentagon halt that raised worries that American stocks were running low.
Noting that Ukrainian forces are currently under intense pressure and significant strikes from Russian drones and missiles, Trump underlined the importance of supporting Ukraine’s air defence and combat resilience. He acknowledged that the endeavour would concentrate on defensive systems, in line with his declared preference for “America First” military strategy, but he refrained from providing specifics.
The U.S. Defence Department subsequently verified that the shipment of these extra weaponry is in progress as per Trump’s order, showing a purposeful change in reaction to criticism and pressure from Kyiv. Although supporters applaud the ruling, it might extend military action even as peace talks continue.
The precise type and quantity of U.S. military shipments will require time to ascertain, according to a cautious response from Russia’s Kremlin spokesperson. Analysts warn the move could prolong hostilities but argue that bolstering Ukraine’s defensive capabilities may stabilize frontlines and deter further aggression.
