The president of the United States says that Ukraine must be able to defend himself and is “being beaten very hard.”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said that his administration will send more weapons to Ukraine after a previous decision to stop some arms shipments caused kyiv’s conviction and his supporters.
Speaking to journalists before dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC on Monday, Trump said that new shipments would be composed mainly of “defensive weapons.”
“We are going to send some more weapons. We have to do it. They to be able to defend themselves,” Trump said.
“They are hitting very hard now.”
The Chief Pentagon spokesman, Sean Parnell, confirmed Trump’s comments later on Monday, saying that Washington would provide “additional defensive weapons” to “guarantee that Ukrainians can defend the issue we work to ensure a peace peace and guarantee the murder and guarantee the murder.
Parnell added that Trump would continue to evaluate military shipments abroad according to “our priorities for defense of America First.”
Trump’s promise occurred after Russia announced on Monday that the Ukrainian village of Dachne had captured, in Dnipropetrovsk, after a boost of months to take territory in the central region.
The decision also followed the announcement of the Pentagon last week that would stop the deliveries of some weapons, including the air defense missiles and the artillery guided by precision, for concern that the reserves were working too low.
After a telephone call with Trump on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodyymyr Zenskyy said he had agreed with his American counterpart to work to strengthen Ukraine aerial defenses.
“We talk about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen the protection of our skies,” Zenskyy said in an X publication.
Trump described the call as “very good” on Friday and said his administration was “looking for” selling more patriotic missiles to kyiv.
“They need them to defense. I don’t want to see the murdered people,” Trump told reporters in Air Force One.
