Overview

  • President Donald Trump has affirmed that the U.S. will resume delivering defensive weapons to Ukraine after a brief Pentagon-mandated pause for strategic review.
  • U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg is scheduled to meet Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov in Rome followed by Kyiv this week to negotiate the scope and schedule of resumed arms deliveries.
  • U.S. officials have told Kyiv that engineering equipment and armored vehicles will flow back soon; no firm timeline exists for the paused Patriot air defense and precision-guided munitions.
  • Last week’s abrupt suspension halted shipments including 30 Patriot missiles, 8,400 155mm artillery rounds, 142 Hellfire missiles and 252 GMLRS rockets, catching Ukrainian forces and key lawmakers by surprise.
  • Ukraine has faced its largest overnight barrage of some 500 Russian drones and missiles in recent weeks, underscoring the urgent need for restored air defenses.
