Reuters: The US temporarily suspended and then resumed arms supplies to Ukraine.
The US government temporarily halted arms supplies to Ukraine but later resumed them. This was reported by Reuters, citing sources.
The temporary halt in arms supplies occurred due to discussions within President Trump's administration regarding policy towards Ukraine. Four individuals familiar with the situation told Reuters about this.
Supplies were resumed after the White House withdrew its initial assessment regarding the cessation of aid to Ukraine. Two sources reported this. One of them, an American official, informed the agency that there are disagreements within the administration about how much the US should continue to support Ukraine's military efforts with supplies from American stocks.
Currently, the White House has not responded to a request regarding the cessation and resumption of supplies.
In recent months of his presidency, Biden approved the allocation of over 1 billion dollars in American weapons from US stocks to Ukraine. This does not include new contracts for future weapon production.
No new aid packages have been announced since Donald Trump took office, but supplies approved by Joe Biden continued and were expected to continue for several months due to existing orders.
