Trump says Ukraine will receive more weapons after US pause on shipments

 

Donald Trump has said the US will send more weapons to Ukraine after an announcement last week that Washington would halt some shipments of critical arms to Kyiv.

 During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said he was "not happy" with Russia's Vladimir Putin and that Ukraine was "getting hit very hard".

 Trump also indicated the US would send primarily "defensive weapons" to help Ukraine's war effort.

 Precision artillery shells and Patriot air defense missiles were reported to have been put on hold last week. Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky had appealed for the shipments to continue, describing US Patriot systems as "real protectors of life".
