In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds.
Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order.
Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells.
Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries.
The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense.
With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war.
Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.
