"Weapons reserves are exhausted": Trump stopped all military support of Ukraine - Bloomberg
"The United States suspend all current military assistance to Ukraine until Trump decides that the country's leaders will demonstrate a fair commitment to peace," a high -ranking official of the US Department of Defense told reporters. He explained that all US military equipment, including weapons that have not yet reached Ukraine, is transported by transit on planes and ships or expected in transit zones in Poland, and will remain there.
According to the interlocutor of the publication, Trump ordered the Defense Minister Pete Hegset to execute this decision. "Trump has joined the post, with $ 3. 85 billion left over from the previous administration under the so -called presidential powers to reduce US arms reserves. It remains unclear whether the Trump administration would really use this money for Ukraine, especially given the fact that the US is inhabited.
Journalists emphasized that this decision goes beyond the simple cessation of funding, as it is jeopardized with threatening assistance that is already provided or implemented. "This applies to the supply of critical ammunition, hundreds of rods, anti -tank weapons and other means. The termination of existing industry contracts may also require the US to pay some compensation to companies that have started ordering," the material authors emphasized.
The White House also confirmed this information "the President clearly made it clear in peace. We need our partners to be given to this purpose. We suspend and review our help to make sure that it helps to resolve the conflict," the White House said. Recall that on March 3, the Wall Street Journal published material that stated that the US stopped financing new supplies of weapons to Ukraine.
