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.
Yeah, reason(s) are pretty clear to me, and, I think to most people reading this thread.
As the men in the field and trenches hear of Trump’s words, and the freeze on weapons deliveries...the lines will rapidly collapse.
No benefactor. No hope.
Putting down their weapons and going home is their only chance to survive.
I don’t know, it seems pretty clear to me. 😏
France is a world leader in arms manufacture. They can show up with some trainloads of hardware.
Art of the deal, baby!
As far as Im concerned, any one of those countries with “free” healthcare, short work weeks, mandatory vacations, etc can get off their lazy asses and pay for it so that Americans dont have to work 100+ hour weeks.
How many of us have gone for years without vacations and maybe only a couple days off a year to pay for all that “free” AND keep up a military big enough to protect them?
Not a single dime to ANY foreign nation.
Good.
He should face a firing squad made up of his own people, as did Ceausescu, another evil dictator.
I guess this is what President Trump meant when he said that Zelinski “better hurry up and end war”. Not an exact quote but what I recall.
Zelinski is so stupid he signed his political death warrant on instructions from Starmer....
Musk cut the free starlink to Ukraine... they can pay to play.
Zelinski is finished.
There was never anything near that value to sign over... another Zelinski & Lindsay red shoes Graham smoking mirrors accounting trick.
Trump has signaled the US has no interest, but Ukraine is an area that is a Russian interest.
Obama set in motion a plan to
destroy Russia. Trump recognizes Ukraine was essentially the same as the Panama Canal Zone....
