The head of the Pentagon Higgit Evidence, US Presidential Administration, Donald Trump, has not reported his decision to suspend arms supply to Ukraine in advance. This was reported by CNN with reference to the sources.
At a meeting with the Council of Ministers, Trump said he was not responsible for this step. Trump answered: “The answer to the question, who authorized the stopping of arms supply,” I do not know why you don’t tell me? “
Trump also confirmed that Washington will continue to send weapons to Ukraine.
In early July, Politico and NBC reported that the United States had stopped providing some types of weapons to Ukraine, including missiles for the Patriot Air Defense System. The White House clarified the suspension of supplies with a “standard test” by the Pentagon for all military aid, which the United States provides to all countries and regions. KYIV claims that he had not officially received any notifications about the suspension of arms supplies.
According to CNN sources, Trump only asked HegSet to evaluate American arms shares, but not to stop the supply of Ukraine. The sources linked the decision of the Pentagon to the fact that Higset did not have a chief of staff or reliable advisers to coordinate important political decisions with agency partners.
This is the second case in 2025, when HegSet decided to stop US weapons flow in Ukraine, “sudden degrees” for other officials, written CNN. The last time this happened in February, then the decision was quickly canceled.
