U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to send additional weapons to Ukraine, citing the country’s increasing vulnerability amid intensified attacks. Speaking ahead of a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (July 8), Trump said, “Ukraine is under severe assault. We need to send more weapons.” Previously, the Trump administration had paused certain arms shipments. The White House clarified that this renewed move aligns with Trump's "America First" policy. The Pentagon further stated that only defensive weapons would be provided, aimed at supporting Ukraine's right to self-defense.
