President Trump said Monday his administration would send Ukraine additional weapons after his administration imposed a pause on some shipments to Kyiv.
“We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump told reporters during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Defensive weapons, primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess,” he added.
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.
Trump himself seemed to defend the pause, saying the U.S. needed “to make sure we have enough for ourselves.” The decision drew backlash from Ukraine supporters in Washington and Europe, who expressed concern that a pause could seriously weaken Kyiv’s abilities to fend off Russia’s strikes and advances.

“I’m disappointed, frankly, that President Putin hasn’t stopped. I’m not happy about it either,” Trump said Monday.

Very disappointed.
Putin will regret thumbing his nose at Trump’s peace overtures in Ukraine.
No!
I disagree. We do not have to.
What we do need to do, however, is replenish our own stockpiles of weapons, from shells, to drones, to missiles, getting our laser systems in production runs.
No, we do not "have to". Very bad move President Trump.
This is not what I voted for Trump for and I too am disapointed in this action.
It’s your war now.
OK still better than Kamala, but I fear Trump's second term will be like his first -- a speedbump on the road to Hell.
Not Trump’s?
Seems that the scales have finally fallen from Trump’s eyes concerning Putin and Russia.
Will they at least PAY for them this time? I mean, what about that Rare Earth Deal we signed with them?
“OK still better than Kamala, but I fear Trump’s second term will be like his first — a speedbump on the road to Hell.”
Prophesy may be delayed but it won’t be denied.
At this point, the best thing to send is bandages & white flags.
🏳️ Sad
Women, children, and Russian trolls most affected.
Russian trolls have a big sad.
Unfortunately. Trump is prolonging this UnitedKingdom/UnitedStates v Russia war.
Really want the war to end ? Stop sending weapons.
Otherwise WE ARE A PARTY in the war !
Trump has always been a smart man, and one who knows when someone is playing games. He gave ol’ Putler a chance to make peace, and the Butcher gave him the finger. Fatal mistake.
So, let’s have constant war, let certain illegals stay in the country, and whitewash the Epstein evidence. I sure hope Trump is prepared for the impeachment hearings in 2027. Hell, a majority of the country may want him removed at that point.
I trust Trump. He’s trying to hurry along Russia’s agreement to peace the best he can. But we’re dealing with Russians. This could take years.
Trump reveals himself to be more a McCain Republican every day: War and amnesty.
