The US Department of Defense has officially announced the sending of additional weapons to Ukraine at the behest of President Donald Trump. The corresponding statement by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell was published on the department’s official website .

“At the direction of President Trump, the Department of Defense is sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine so that Ukrainians can defend themselves while we work to ensure a lasting peace and end the killing,” the statement said.

US weapons for Ukraine

The US administration earlier this month suspended the supply of key weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot missiles, as the Pentagon reviewed its stockpiles. Experts say the lack of air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions could weaken Ukraine’s defenses and give the Russians an advantage. In addition, Russia has recently stepped up its massive bombardment of the country.

Ukraine requested clarification on critical air defense systems. Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump subsequently discussed the issue in a phone call.

Politico previously wrote that the US may resume supplying Ukraine with some types of weapons after meetings between Special Envoy Keith Kellogg and Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov this week and next week.

In turn, Donald Trump announced on July 7 the transfer of weapons to the Ukrainian army .

  1. Krasnov has been blocking deliveries of matériel previously ordered by the Biden administration and approved by Congress. He stated that the US had given too much.
    That is surely illegal?
    And for what purpose was it; other than anti-Ukraine hatred and giving succour to a child murdering Nazi?
    Is he going finally to reverse that evil decision?
    Congress passed aid of $60 billion for Ukraine. How much has actually been delivered?
    When will deliveries be completed of this already agreed aid?
    When, if ever, will Krasnov order the delivery of a new package of aid?
    The EU and its allies have pledged c. $75 billion for this year.
    Nowhere near enough.
    Plus only the US can provide Patriots and cluster munitions; both are needed like yesterday.
    Friedrich Merz has made a decent start as Chancellor. On Trump’s fatuous and insulting request to reinstate putlerstan into the G7, he said :

    “We are not sitting here in this format with warlords and not with war criminals, which is why putin has no place at this table.”

    But he must provide Taurus in numbers, for the following profound reasons:
    1/ Ukraine needs them desperately in order to strike putinaZi logistics
    2/ Germany owes it to Ukraine to defeat the cauldron of devilry. Call it reparations for the 8-10 million Ukrainians murdered by the hitler nazis.
    3/ the putinaZis have to be stopped by any means necessary. Taurus is an essential requirement.
    4/ the remilitarisation of Germany is now essential for Ukraine’s survival.
    5/ 50 or so Taurus missiles would be enough to inflict severe damage on the putler bridge.

    • Only you could find something bad out of something good. Your statement is more proof that you hate Trump (TDS) more than you love Ukraine. Sad.
      Slava Ukraini, tseh budi Ukraina!

      • A person who blocks military aid at a time when children are being murdered is guilty of murder by proxy.
        I don’t like child-murderers or those that enable child murderers.
        Do you?
        Which factual information that I provided do you dispute?
        I did not express an opinion about Krasnov, but It must surely be pretty abnormal NOT to dislike someone who deliberately formulated policies that caused the death of children.
        A hint of a reversal does not exonerate crimes already committed.
        But then there is not much that is normal about Trump gimps.

        • True, trumpkov blocked the desperately-needed aid, and innocent people died, but now he can restore a small part of that aid and take credit for sending aid (when it was really already funded under President Joe Biden).

          Isn’t him being able to take credit for what someone else did worth the lives of a few children?

          (Yes, that’s sarcasm.)

  2. Better late than never! These weapons, the EU sanctions, hopefully the new US sanctions and a firm commitment to Ukraine should prove a very bad week for the Kremlin Gremlin.
