The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of stopping all current arms supplies to Ukraine as a measure in response to the statements of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The American publication The Washington Post reported this, citing an unnamed Trump administration official.
The source said that if Trump makes this decision, it will affect weapons, ammunition and other military equipment worth billions of dollars.
According to him, we are talking about radar installations, missiles, artillery shells and vehicles.
Currently, all these weapons and equipment are waiting to be sent to Ukraine under the presidential authority to withdraw weapons from U.S. army stocks (PDA).
The administration official also said that the confrontation between Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance with Zelenskyy was not intentional. He claims that efforts were made during the planning of the meeting to set a more positive tone.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on February 28, Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington to meet with Donald Trump.
The main purpose of the Ukrainian President's visit was to sign a mineral agreement. The Ukrainian President also planned to give a speech at the Hudson Institute.
However, during the public part of the meeting, Zelenskyy got into a heated argument with Trump over Washington's soft approach to russian dictator vladimir putin.
Later, Zelenskyy and Trump had a closed-door conversation, but it did not last long. As it later became known, the Ukrainian President left the White House early.
