BREAKING: Ukrainian Lawmaker Confirms US Halted Weapon Deliveries to Ukraine – Reason Is Unclear
Gateway Pundit ^ | Feb. 20, 2025 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/20/2025 3:55:55 PM PST by Kazan

This is breaking news– Ukrainian lawmaker Roman Kostenko, who works as the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada’s Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, told reporters on Thursday that the US weapon sales and deliveries have been halted.

Kostenko made the announcement during a press roundtable on Thursday that was later posted on YouTube.

According to Kostenko, “Deliveries of the weapons that were going to be sold have stopped. Those companies that were supposed to transfer these weapons here are now waiting, because there is no decision.”

He added that the “parties involved” hope for a resolution.

The Kyiv Post reported:

Kyiv Post cannot verify Kostenko’s claims via other sources at the time of publication.

The rumor, if true, could be a result of the deteriorating relations between Kyiv and the Trump administration, with US President Donald Trump questioning Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s legitimacy – similar to the Kremlin’s narrative – with Zelensky saying that Trump “lives in a disinformation space” in response.

Maybe Little Z-Man shouldn’t have said that Trump lives in a “RuZZian disinformation space.” It made him cranky.

All this started because Zelenskyy refused to hand over the minerals worth 500 mil..if he had done that zero issue, but he decided to take our money, money launder it and keep the minerals too, F him..Zelenskyy has NEVER thanked us for all the money we gave him, no “Thanks so much really appreciate it” no, he acts like we owe his ass

bet the Feds (good guys this time) are seeing who squeals the loudest then check the Doge’d accounting so that kickbacks, bird-dogs, 10%’s to the Big Guy, type graft is blocked before clearing even “defensive” hardware since auditing can’t spot every rat-hole the money flows down on the way to its intended purpose.

1) Don’t complain about someone you want to help you
2) Hopefully Trump secured a promise that Russia won’t take advantage of Ukraine any further
3) Hopefully this gets both countries to the negotiating table quickly.
