PresidentDonald Trumpsaid he was unhappy with Russian PresidentVladimir Putinand would be sending Ukraine more defensive weapons, days after the Pentagon said it would halt some shipments as it conducteda review of U.S. military stockpiles. "We're going to send some more weapons – we have to. They have to be able to defend themselves," Trump told reporters July 7 during a White House meeting with Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. "They're getting hit very hard now. They're getting hit very hard. We're going to have to send more weapons – your defensive weapons, primarily." The Trump administration has worked for months without success to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Trump spoke with Putin last week and said afterward that the call did not result in any progress. Russiapummelled Kyivwith the largest drone attack of the war, killing one person, injuring at least 23 and damaging buildings across the capital hours afterTrump spoke to Putin, officials said. Trump said July 7 that he's "disappointed frankly that President Putin hasn't stopped." Trump recently held a closed-door meeting with Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskyyat the NATO Summit in The Hague and said afterwards he would see if he could make additional Patriot missiles available to Ukraine. However, the Pentagon said last week that it was suspending the transfer of some weapons, including interceptors,as it assessesits readiness and future military assistance for Ukraine. The pause in weapons deliveries is part of a "capability review" to "ensure U.S. military aid aligns with our defense priorities," Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell told reporters at a July 2 briefing.
