President Donald Trump announced that the US will send more weapons to Ukraine, focusing mainly on defensive capabilities. Despite a recent pause in deliveries by the Pentagon for a capability review, the need for Ukraine to defend itself has been emphasized. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell indicated that additional defensive weapons would be provided following the review, which ensures that military aid aligns with US defense priorities. Since Russia's invasion in February 2022, the US has committed over $66 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.
We're going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. Defensive weapons, primarily, but they are getting hit very, very hard.
We see this as a common sense, pragmatic step towards having a framework to evaluate what munitions are sent and where.
The Pentagon said it was pausing weapon deliveries to Ukraine as part of a 'capability review,' conducted to ensure US military aid aligns with our defense priorities.
