Trump Reverses Course: US to Send More Weapons to Ukraine
Washington, July 8, 2025 — In a marked shift from earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced the resumption and expansion of U.S. military aid to Ukraine. This move reverses a brief Pentagon-imposed pause aimed at reviewing U.S. stockpiles and military priorities.
From Pause to Push
• Earlier in the week, the Pentagon, citing concerns about depleted U.S. inventories, halted shipments of key munitions—including Patriot missile batteries, precision-guided artillery, and Stinger and Hellfire missiles.
• That pause raised alarm in Kyiv, prompting emergency outreach. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is reported to have “summoned” the U.S. envoy, warning this could endanger Ukrainian defenses.
• Within days, Trump personally intervened—overruling the internal halt and authorizing the resumption of “defensive weapons” shipments, emphasizing Ukraine’s “need to defend themselves”
What’s on the Way?
• Trump indicated that shipments may again include advanced Patriot air‑defense missiles—yet stopped short of confirming specifics.
• According to The Guardian, the U.S. has pledged to dispatch 10 Patriot missiles immediately, built to intercept Russian ballistic threats.
• Separately, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell affirmed that additional defensive arms are being dispatched under a renewed framework prioritizing “America First” strategic review.
Dialogue with Kyiv and Moscow
• Trump’s shift followed a direct call with Zelenskyy, described as “very good” by both leaders. Zelenskyy reportedly agreed to explore joint air-defense initiatives.
• Contrastingly, Trump expressed deep frustration toward Russia in communications with President Putin, denouncing his ongoing assault tactics as “meaningless peace overtures” and a path of “continued killing”
Timing and Context
• The pause began on July 2, 2025, as part of a Pentagon review under then-Pentagon leadership.
• Trump’s reversal came swiftly on July 7–8, after heated criticism from allies and renewed conflict on the ground—particularly Russian advances in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
