Trump says US will supply Ukraine with more weapons

Kiev: President Donald Trump announced on Monday that after the recent Russian progress in the ongoing war with the United States, the United States would provide more weapons to Ukraine.

Washington made a statement last week after Kiev stopped some of the weapons supply, which surprised the Ukrainian officials and indicated immediate efforts to get the explanation.

A break off offers a potentially serious challenge, which has been fighting Russia’s largest missile and drone strikes for more than three years.

“We have to send more weapons – defensive weapons mainly,” Trump told reporters in the White House. “

He said about Ukraine, “They are being very difficult,” he added that he was “not happy” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin launched a full -fledged attack on Ukraine in 2022, and despite Trump’s pressure, there is little consent to end the conflict.

After the US president’s pledge to send more weapons to Ukraine, Moscow said Monday that its forces occupied its first village in the Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region after months.

Russia launched a recent large -scale drone and missile barrage before the announcement, including Ukraine’s military recruitment centers.

Kiev also said that he launched a drone attack on a Russian ammunition factory in the Moscow area.

‘Hard’ situation

Russia said its forces occupied Dacha village, which is an important industrial mining area, which is growing during Russian airstrikes.

Last month, Moscow said its forces had crossed the border for the first time in its campaign Dnipropetrovsk region.

It seems that Russian forces have made an important strategic goal of crossing the regional border in recent months, and deep progress there can cause Ukraine’s LOG logistics and economic problems.

Kiev has so far denied any Russian steps in Dnipropetrovsk.

The Ukrainian army said earlier on Monday that its forces “repelled” attacks in the “attacks”, including the “around”, “attack”.

Duperoproscope is not one of the five Ukrainian territories – Donetsk, Kearsen, Loginsk, Zapurizia and Crimea – which Moscow has claimed publicly as a Russian territory.

Describing the situation of Duperoproscope as a “difficult” for Kiev’s forces, Ukrainian military expert Olyxy Coptico said Russia hopes that a buffer zone will be created in the region.

“Our troops are constantly holding their ground,” he told AFP.

Counting on Partners

The White House said last week that it was stopping some of the significant delivery of weapons to Ukraine, which was promised by Trump’s predecessor under Biden, without details about which weapons programs affected.

It states that the decision was taken after review of US defense needs and its military assistance to foreign countries.

Trump has long been afraid of US aid since Trump returned to the White House in January after Tently supported billions of dollars and criticized weapons.

Under the Biden administration, Washington pledged to provide more than $ 65 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.

Trump has not announced a new military aid package for Kiev since taking office for the second time.

Instead, the Republican president has pushed both sides into peace talks with Putin, including phone calls. The Russian leader has rejected requests for the ceasefire and demanded that Ukraine fight further if he wants to end the war.

Prior to Trump’s remarks on Monday, Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelannsky said air defense is “the top priority for the protection of lives”, and his country is counting to “fully supply what we have agreed” to partners.

Mayor Olexander Senkovich wrote on the telegram, blasts in the southern Ukrainian city of Mukulive on Tuesday night, adding that “the danger of drones” continues.

Michaulo’s regional governor Vatley Kim said the shelling caused a fire on the outskirts of the city and a 51 -year -old man was injured.
