US stop some arms supplies to Ukraine, says White House

The US stopped some arms supplies to Kyiv, the White House said when the Russian war against Ukraine intensified.

It was decided to “put the interests of America for the first time” after the inspection of the Ministry of Defense “military support and assistance to other countries”, said the White House press, Anna Kelly on Tuesday.

The US has sent tens of billions of military assistance to Ukraine, as Russia has launched its full -scale invasion in February 2022, which made some in Trump’s administration expressing the problems that the US reserves are too low.

The Ukrainian government did not comment on this statement. US officials did not immediately say what supplies are stopped.

According to Reuters news agency, air defense missiles and accurate ammunition are considered one of the affected weapons.

The Ministry of Defense “continues to provide the president with reliable opportunities to continue military assistance to Ukraine,” said Elbridge Kolby, US Deputy Defense for Policy.

At the same time, Kolbi added: “The Department is strictly studying and adapts its approach to reaching this, also maintaining the US forces to defend the administration.”

The US official said the move was based on American military stocks that fall too low, according to Media BBC News.

“The force of the United States Armed Forces remains indisputable, just ask Iran,” Kelly added, citing the strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites last month.

The decision led shortly after US President Donald Trump met with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodimir Zelensky at the NATO summit in the Netherlands last week.

On this occasion, Trump said American officials “are going to see if we can make some available Asked BBC On the provision of an additional patriots against the UABRIMY.

Turning to his conversation with Zelensky, Trump said: “We sometimes had a little rude, but he couldn’t be more pleasant.”

In March this year, there was a passionate confrontation in the oval office. Subsequently, Trump said he stopped in the military assistance to Ukraine, which was given to Baden’s previous administration. Intelligence exchange with Ukraine was also suspended.

But both pauses were shot after.

In late April, the United States and Ukraine signed a transaction that will provide access to Ukraine’s mineral reserves in exchange for military aid.

Separately, French President Emmanuel Macron talked to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Tuesday and for the first time in two and a half years.

They talked over the phone for more than two hours, the Macron’s office said, adding that the French president called for ceasefire in Ukraine.

Putin repelled back, accusing the West of the conflict. The Kremlin’s statement said Putin reminded Macron that the Western countries “had ignored the interests of Russia’s security” and “created anti -Russian language in Ukraine.”

The American suspension of military assistance comes when Russia strengthened the war against Ukraine.

Last weekend, Russia launched one of its largest air attacks on Ukraine since the beginning of the war, using more than 500 different weapons, including drones, ballistic and cruise missiles.

On Tuesday, three people were killed in a Ukrainian attack in Russian in Izhevsk, more than 1000 km (620 miles) from the border with Ukraine.

Currently, Moscow controls about 20% of the Ukrainian territory, including the Crimea Peninsula in 2014.
