The Independent had these details to share on Trump’s remarks on Ukraine:
President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States would resume providing weapons to Ukrainian defense forces because the country was being slammed by ongoing Russian aerial attacks, just days after the Pentagon halted shipments to review whether current stockpiles were sufficient for American defense needs.
Speaking during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of their respective staffs, Trump was asked if he planned to sent more weapons for use by Kyiv.
He replied affirmatively, telling reporters: “We’re going to send some more weapons.”
“We have to, they have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard. Now they’re getting hit very hard. We’re going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard,” he said before adding that “so many people” were “dying in that mess.”
Trump’s decision comes days after he had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to Trump, the phone call didn’t go so well.

CBS News reported more on Trump’s recent calls with Zelensky and Putin:
This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.President Trump told reporters he’s “very disappointed” with his Thursday conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he “didn’t make any progress with him” during the call.
The Trump-Putin call came after the White House said the U.S. is halting some weapons shipments to Ukraine. The Trump administration said the decision was made after a Pentagon review of U.S. military support and assistance to other countries. The pause was put in place because of concerns that U.S. military stockpiles were falling too low, a U.S. official said.
ADVERTISEMENTMr. Trump also spoke Friday morning with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said he and Mr. Trump “spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies.” Zelenskyy added that he and the U.S. president “agreed to a meeting between our teams.”
Speaking about his call with Putin, Mr. Trump told reporters in Washington overnight, “I’m very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin because I don’t think he’s there.”
Asked on the way to a speech in Iowa Thursday if he made any progress with Putin on a potential deal on Ukraine, Mr. Trump said, “No. I didn’t make any progress with him today at all.”
