WASHINGTON—President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wasn’t responsible for a halt in weapons shipments to Kyiv, signaling U.S. openness to continuing military aid for Ukraine.
Trump informed Zelensky in a Friday phone conversation that he had directed a review of Pentagon munitions stockpiles after the U.S. struck Iran’s nuclear sites last month but didn’t order the department to freeze the arms deliveries, according to people briefed on the conversation.
The call came shortly after Trump publicly acknowledged he was “very disappointed” and “didn’t make any progress” on an Ukraine peace deal in a separate call Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump urged Putin to end the war during the call, but Putin refused, according to the Kremlin.
Trump assured Zelensky that the U.S. will send as much military aid as it can spare, the people said. But the shipment remains on hold, according to a Pentagon spokesman.

Who is “the people said”? What people and who said it?

Which tells us nothing.
I apologize sir, but we can’t find your coat.
“Trump Told Zelensky He Wasn’t Responsible for Weapons Holdup”
Of course - it was Biden’s Women who CLEANED US OUT.
U.S. President Trump earlier tonight: “We are going to send some more weapons, we have to, they have to be able to defend themselves — they are getting hit very hard now, they are getting hit very hard. We are going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons — primarily, but they are getting hit very very hard.”
This is excellent news. Trump gets it.
All the Putlerists here can suck it.
Ain't that the truth!
Oh goody, the Snake is always back when he smells blood in the water.
What’s the deal? Are you too afraid to post your silly photoshopped pictures to me?
Didn’t you hear? Trump is going to help Ukraine defend itself against your Putin and his orc army. Isn’t that great? C’mon, smile! 😃
Russia’s surging defence industry, bolstered by an expanded missile plant in Votkinsk and rapidly expanding supply chains, could soon allow Russia to fire 1,000 missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities in a single night.

We don't have aid to spare to keep Ukraine's missile defense viable.

The Pentagon last week confirmed a decision to halt the delivery of some air defense missiles and munitions to Ukraine, citing concerns about U.S. military stockpiles being depleted.
Did the Pentagon lie?
Apparently so since Trump just intervened and overruled that decision.

I suppose there are still some young Ukranian men left alive? More war will take care of that.
Now go dream up a new identity, Walter. Amuse me!
