The media reported on the White House's reaction to the Pentagon's order to help Ukraine

The order of US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to stop aid to Ukraine a week after the start of Donald Trump's second presidential term has caused chaos in Washington. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on May 6.

According to journalists, the US military ordered the cancellation of 11 flights with artillery shells and other weapons bound for Ukraine. The order was given to three cargo airlines operating at the U.S. Air Force base in Dover, Delaware, and the U.S. base in the UAE.

As the agency noted, the idea of canceling military assistance to Ukraine appeared during a meeting on January 30 in the Oval Office, but Trump himself did not give any specific instructions on this matter.

"According to two sources with knowledge of private discussions at the White House, as well as another source with direct knowledge of the situation, the president was unaware of Hegseth's order, as were other senior officials who participated in the meeting," Reuters notes.

Within one week, military supplies to Ukraine were restored, but Hegseth said he had followed the US president's directive to suspend assistance to the Ukrainian army, she added.Газета.Ru ".
