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

President Trump has announced that Ukraine will receive more weapons after the US pause on shipments. This comes as a surprising move, as the Biden Administration's defense officials have been cautious in their approach to sending weapons to the war-torn country.

The announcement was made during a meeting with Republican lawmakers on Tuesday, with Trump stating that Ukraine needed more weapons and that Russia should not be able to easily win the war.

This statement contrasts the opinions of prominent Republicans, such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who have both expressed concerns about providing more weapons and military support to Ukraine.

It remains to be seen what specific weapons Trump referred to and whether this new development will have any impact on the ongoing negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.
