The US Resumes Deliveries of Advanced Weapons to Ukraine

Following a brief pause, the United States is once again sending HIMARS rockets and 155 mm artillery shells to Ukraine. This decision comes after pressure from American politicians.

Political Pressure Yielded Results

After a period of uncertainty regarding American arms deliveries to Ukraine, the US government has decided to resume the supply of ammunition for the HIMARS systems and the crucial 155 mm artillery shells.

The decision follows significant pressure from 17 members of Congress and the Senate, who sent a joint appeal to the Pentagon in early July, demanding a resumption of support.

This ammunition is essential for Ukraine’s continued defense against the Russian invasion, and the deliveries are seen by many as crucial for the balance on the battlefield.

Concerns Over American Stockpiles

The weapons deliveries were temporarily stopped earlier this month due to concerns about the strain on American military stockpiles.

But President Donald Trump decided to follow recommendations from the Pentagon and political appeals and has now restarted the deliveries.

The Pentagon announced on Monday, July 7, that additional defensive weapons would be sent to Ukraine on direct order from the President.

Possibility of More Advanced Systems

In addition to the resumption of rocket and artillery shell deliveries, the US is also considering further increasing its support with advanced Patriot missile defense systems.

According to President Trump, this possibility is currently being discussed, which could mean even more comprehensive support for Ukraine in the coming time.

Although the exact timeline for the resumed deliveries is still unknown, the decision underscores the continued American support for Ukraine in the fight for the country’s security and sovereignty.
