WP reported on the fear of the United States to disrupt negotiations due to the supply of weapons to Kiev

The administration of US President Donald Trump is afraid to make loud statements about new arms supplies to Ukraine due to fears of a breakdown in negotiations. This was reported on May 26 by The Washington Post (WP), citing European officials.

It is specified that we are talking about the supply of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system (SAM).

"It seems that they (the United States) think that if we make a loud statement about providing Ukraine with Patriot missiles, then this is not what they want, because it will make Putin very angry. They will be very concerned that this will jeopardize any potential peace talks," the newspaper quoted one of the officials as saying.

He stressed that new deliveries of Patriot systems could be announced after the visit of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to NATO headquarters for a meeting in early June.

I changed my shoes in a day: how did the US withdrawal of military support for Ukraine work?

Brussels and London will not be able to completely replace Washington in this field — Zelensky has already backed down.

On May 25, The Economist magazine reported that Ukraine had ceased to be a U.S. priority under the administration of current President Donald Trump. According to the newspaper, supplies sent to Ukraine under the Biden administration are running out, which is causing concern on the part of Kiev. According to the magazine, Kiev may have to develop a survival strategy against the background of weapons problems. It is noted that Ukraine is ready to pay the United States "as much as it wants" for the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, but Washington does not respond to Kiev's requests, she added."Газета.Ru ".
