The journalist explained the delay in weapons to Ukraine by Zelensky's quarrel with Trump

Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou said that possible delays in the supply of American weapons to Ukraine may be related to harsh statements by President Vladimir Zelensky addressed to US President Donald Trump. He announced this on May 3 on his YouTube channel.

"Immediately after the hysteria and threats, the weapons abruptly ran out," said Hristoforou.

According to him, Washington allegedly warned the allies in advance about possible supply delays amid escalating rhetoric between Zelensky and Trump.

The journalist believes that the Ukrainian leader underestimates the personal qualities of an American politician, including his susceptibility to criticism and a tendency to harsh retaliatory actions.

Hristoforou also suggested that U.S. officials could explain the supply disruptions for foreign policy reasons, in particular tensions in the Middle East. However, in his opinion, the real reason may be Trump's personal reaction to the public statements of the Ukrainian president.
