The chairman of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, called on the US presidential administration to resume the supply of defense assistance to Ukraine as soon as possible.

McCaul stated this  while commenting on the NBC News article ,  Censor.NET reports .

“Senior US military officials have concluded that providing Ukraine with these critical weapons will not jeopardize US combat readiness, so I urge the administration to quickly resume supplies,” he noted.

The official stressed that the suspension of weapons supplies by Pentagon officials only “weakens President Trump’s noble attempts to achieve peace.”

As a reminder, on July 4, a telephone conversation took place between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelenskyy publicly announced that he discussed the situation on the front, the supply of air defense equipment, and joint defense production with the American president.

The US has suspended aid to Ukraine

Earlier, media reported that the US had suspended the shipment of missiles and ammunition to Ukraine due to concerns about the state of American arsenals. Later, the White House confirmed the suspension of the supply of missiles and ammunition to Ukraine and stated that US interests were the priority.

A PBS journalist said that in addition to PAC-3 interceptor missiles intended for Patriot systems, the Pentagon has also stopped the supply of 155-mm artillery shells, GMLRS missiles intended for the M270 MLRS and HIMARS systems, Stinger anti-tank missiles, as well as AIM-7 and Hellfire air-to-air missiles.

The Ministry of Defense stated that Ukraine has not received official notifications about the suspension or revision of schedules for the delivery of defense assistance from the United States, agreed upon under the previous administration.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a video address on July 2, spoke about the progress of negotiations with the United States on the suspension of defense assistance.

Subsequently, US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce stated that the US had not stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine , and the situation with one of the decisions did not affect Washington’s overall obligations.

On July 4, US President Donald Trump said that the United States would continue to provide weapons to Ukraine.

According to  NBC News , the suspension of US military aid to Ukraine was a unilateral decision by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth.
