Washington is \u201ctrying to help\u201d Ukraine but prioritizing American interests, the US leader has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has denied media speculation that the United States has suspended all military equipment and ammunition deliveries to Kiev, insisting that lethal aid is still being sent while Washington ensures it retains enough stockpiles to defend itself and its allies.<\/p>\n

Several reports earlier this week indicated that the US had paused deliveries of various critical munitions to Ukraine, including Patriot and Hellfire missiles, GMLRS rockets, and thousands of 155mm artillery shells. The Economist even suggested that Washington could be gradually winding down its military support for Kiev altogether.<\/p>\n

Trump rejected claims of a complete halt of military aid to Kiev, echoing previous statements by the Pentagon and the White House that a decision had been made to prioritize US national interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re giving weapons, but we\u2019ve given so many weapons,\u201d<\/em> Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One on Thursday. \u201cYou know, Biden emptied out our whole country giving\u00a0them weapons. And we have to make sure that we have enough for ourselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>\u201cBut we are giving weapons, and we\u2019re working with them and trying to help them,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Trump added, without providing specifics about the exact weapons withheld and still being supplied.<\/p>\n

Trump has been critical of providing aid to Ukraine without reciprocal benefits, and his administration has not approved any new assistance packages since he took office. According to Germany\u2019s Kiel Institute, the US has sent nearly $115 billion in military and financial aid to Kiev since the conflict escalated in 2022, although Trump has claimed the actual total runs into \u201chundreds of billions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington recently signed an agreement granting the US priority access to Ukraine\u2019s mineral resources\u00a0\u2013\u00a0an effort the White House said would help recoup some of the taxpayer money spent under Biden.<\/p>\n

News of the aid suspension drew sharp reactions in Kiev, with Ukrainian officials summoning US Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires John Ginkel to lecture<\/a>\u00a0him about\u00a0\u201cthe critical importance of continuing the deliveries of previously allocated defense packages.\u201d<\/em> Ukrainian MP Mariana Bezuglaya even declared that \u201cthe US is no longer our ally<\/a>,\u201d<\/em> even though the two countries never signed any deals to that effect.<\/p>\n

Russia has repeatedly condemned Western arms shipments to Ukraine, arguing they prolong the conflict and risk broader escalation. Kremlin officials have also accused Western backers of encouraging their proxies in Kiev to fight to the last Ukrainian in the empty hope of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fewer the missiles that arrive in Ukraine from abroad, the closer the end of the special military operation,\u201d<\/em> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said<\/a> Thursday. He noted, however, that the freeze may be temporary and caused by too many US\u00a0weapons being redirected to support Israel in the stand-off with Iran.<\/p>\n
