The Pentagon announced the upcoming shipment of additional defensive weapons from the United States to Ukraine, according to a Reuters report on Tuesday. The move comes as Washington maintains its ongoing support for Kiev amid the ongoing war. 

US President Donald Trump had previously pledged to continue arming Ukraine, emphasizing that the shipments would focus on “defensive” weapons.

In line with Trump’s earlier statements, the latest weapons package aims to bolster Ukraine’s defensive capabilities. However, the nature and quantity of the forthcoming shipment were not disclosed.

On that note, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that any shipments containing weapons for Ukraine would be considered legitimate military targets by Moscow.

The Russian Foreign Ministry further stated that NATO member states were "playing with fire" by continuing to supply arms to Ukraine, asserting that increasing Western arms deliveries to Ukraine undermine negotiations and escalate tensions.

Lavrov added that the US and NATO are not merely supplying weapons but are also directly involved in the war through training Ukrainian personnel in countries including the UK, Germany, and Italy.

US military aid under review

Meanwhile, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is expected to meet with Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov at an international assistance conference in Rome. This will be followed by additional meetings in Kiev over the coming week, the report said.

Separately, reports from Politico indicate that US military deliveries to Kiev may resume following a series of meetings in Italy and Ukraine. The recent pause in support was attributed to the Pentagon’s standard review of all military aid provided by the US globally, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

On July 2, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly confirmed the suspension of certain supplies, including ammunition and anti-aircraft missiles, citing the need to prioritize "America’s interests." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded by saying that a reduction in arms deliveries to Ukraine would end the war sooner.
