Step back of Donald Trump. The President of the United States said Washington intends to send further Weapons to Ukrainea few days after having arranged a temporary suspension of some military supplies directed to Kiev. According to Tycoon, the sending of armaments is necessary for Ukraine to defend itself, underlining that the country is undergoing “very, very hard” attacks by the Russia.
The answer by Fly It arrived quickly. The Russian Tass press agency reported the words of the Cremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, according to which the sending of weapons to Kiev by the United States and European countries would not be compatible with the efforts to promote a peaceful solution to the conflict. “Undoubtedly, we greatly appreciate the efforts of the United States and personally of President Trump and the members of his team in starting a direct negotiation process between Russia and Ukraine. Of course, we believe that there is great potential among our countries in the relaunch of commercial and economic relationships” added Peskov, and then reiterated about the supply of weapons by the West: “These actions certainly do not fall into a logic of solution. peaceful.
The U.S. Defense Department confirmed, through a press release, that further defensive weapons will be provided on the indication of the President to the country of Zelensky, with the aim of strengthening its self -defense’s ability. In the note, the Pentagon added that the sending of military aid is part of in the “America First” approach of the government, aimed at guaranteeing national security and promoting lasting peace.
After the announcement of the suspension of some supplies the previous week, Trump reiterated his intention to send new military aid, specifying that it will be mainly weapons for defensive purposes. The president also claimed to be “dissatisfied” of the conduct of Russian President Vladimir Putin, stressing that Kiev has undergone serious losses.
According to an exclusive of the Wall Street JournalTrump would have informed the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky by telephone not to be responsible for the temporary interruption of weapons shipments. During the conversation, the US president would have explained that he had ordered a revision of the Pentagon ammunition stocks after an American attack on Iranian nuclear sites, but not having given instructions to suspend deliveries to Kiev. The phone call with Zelensky would take place shortly after another conversation between Trump and Putin, during which the American president would have expressed disappointment for the lack of progress in peace negotiations. According to the sources mentioned by the newspaper, Trump would have ensured that the United States will provide Ukraine with all available military aid, even if, at the moment, shipments are still suspended, according to reports from a pentagon spokesman.
Why this behind? Trump would take note of the lack of availability, by the Russian leadership, to start a substantial negotiation. According to some assessments, the US administration believes that Moscow intends to continue, and possibly intensify, military operations, interpreting the temporary suspension of western aid as an implicit signal of consent. The possible implications of this change remain to be clarified. On Thursday and Friday, in Rome, during the Conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine, meetings between Zelensky, its US directors and representatives are scheduled. Among these there may also be the former General Keith Kellogg, currently a special envoy of the United States for Ukraine.
