Kyiv: The USA does not supply American weapons to Ukraine. The Americans, however, deny this

Ukrainian officials say that in fact all the supply of American weapons, including shells and spare parts, were stopped, but US officials deny this— quotes excerpt from the article RIA Novosti.

It is clarified that in Kyiv the suspension of arms supplies is associated with the efforts of the US Presidential Administration Donald Trump to “squeeze out political concessions” from Ukraine.

The publication also recalls that since January Trump has not assumed any new obligations regarding weapons for Ukraine.

The decision to suspend military assistance To Ukraine, until the authorities in Kyiv will demonstrate committed peace negotiations, was adopted in the USA in March, FOX News reported with reference to a senior White House official. According to the NBC television channel on July 2, citing a number of sources in the Pentagon and Congress, the list of American weapons, the deliveries of which are suspended Kyiv, includes anti-aircraft missile systems Patriot, Hellfire and Stinger missiles.

Russia believes that the supply of weapons to Ukraine interferes with the settlement of the conflict, and the NATO countries directly involve it in it. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contain weapons for Ukraine will be a legal goal for Russia. The Kremlin stated that the pumping up of Ukraine by weapons from the West does not contribute to negotiations and would have a negative effect.
