President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States would resume providing weapons to Ukrainian defense forces because the country was being slammed by ongoing Russian aerial attacks, just days after the Pentagon halted shipments to review whether current stockpiles were sufficient for American defense needs.
Speaking during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of their respective staffs, Trump was asked if he planned to sent more weapons for use by Kyiv.
He replied affirmatively, telling reporters: “We're going to send some more weapons.”
“We have to, they have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard. Now they're getting hit very hard. We're going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily, but they're getting hit very, very hard,” he said before adding that “so many people” were “dying in that mess.”
