Ukraine Gets Weapons Again After US Halt

The US has decided to send more weapons to Ukraine after a brief pause. This comes as Ukraine faces heavy attacks from Russia.

US Halts and Resumes Weapons Shipments

The US had stopped sending some weapons last week, including Patriot missiles and artillery shells. Ukraine's President Zelensky had urged the US to continue supplying weapons, calling them crucial for protection.

Trump stated that the US would mainly send defensive weapons. He also expressed dissatisfaction with Russia's actions. These comments were made during a meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu. Trump noted that Ukraine was under heavy attack and needed to defend itself.

Pentagon's Decision to Send More Weapons

The Pentagon announced they were sending more weapons to help Ukraine defend itself. This decision followed days of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. One such attack in Kyiv killed three people. Ukraine had warned that halting weapons shipments would weaken its defense against these attacks.

Zelensky and Trump Discuss Air Defense

Zelensky spoke to Trump about air defense and agreed to work together. The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over three years, with ceasefire talks making little progress. Trump mentioned there was no progress in ending the conflict after speaking with Putin.

Ukraine Seeks More Pressure on Russia

Ukraine has asked its allies to increase pressure on Russia. Zelensky wants more sanctions on Moscow. The US decision to send more weapons is a relief for Ukraine, coming after a week of uncertainty and heavy attacks.
