On Monday evening (7 July), US President Donald Trump announced that the US will supply more weapons to Ukraine. According to Trump, recent Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities left him with little choice. “We are going to send more weapons,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They are being hit very hard.” It is unclear what kind of weapons Trump is referring to.
Last week, the country announced that it would partially halt arms deliveries to Ukraine. For example, it will no longer send Patriot air defence missiles, artillery, or various types of missiles. According to the Pentagon, the reason for halting the deliveries was that US stocks of weaponry and ammunition were dwindling too much.
