The media predicted the end of Ukraine's rapprochement with the United States after the decision on the supply of weapons

Ukraine should forget about its rapprochement with the United States after Washington's decision to suspend arms supplies. The Tageszeitung wrote about this on July 3.

"Many Ukrainians are no longer under any illusions, especially regarding military support from Western allies. <...> Since January 20, 2025, they, like the rest of the world, have also been dealing with [US President] Donald Trump," the article said.

It clarifies that the statement about the cessation of arms supplies was made "at the most inopportune moment" — when Russian troops intensified their offensive.

The publication emphasizes that after this decision, hopes for a rapprochement between Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky "can be considered lost."

Missile shutdown: Ukraine's weapons reserves will last only six months

The United States has frozen the supply of certain types of weapons to Kiev, and Europe is unable to fully compensate for these losses.

The day before, NBC News reported on the decision of Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth to suspend the supply of dozens of interceptor missiles for Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, more than 100 Hellfire missiles, dozens of Stinger missiles, more than 250 GMLRS guided precision projectiles and other types of weapons to Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on July 3 that the United States had stopped supplying weapons to Kiev due to the fact that it did not have time to produce enough weapons and ammunition to simultaneously support Ukraine and Israel. He also stressed that the cessation of military aid supplies to Kiev means a faster end to the Ukrainian conflict.
