The USA has halted the sale of weapons in Ukraine, reported the head of the Verkhovna Rada committee Roman Kostenko.

According to my information, the supply of weapons that were supposed to be sold has stopped. The companies that were supposed to deliver these weapons are currently waiting, as no decision has yet been made. Everyone is waiting to see if such a decision will be made to continue supplying weapons here even for money, - said Kostenko.

Western countries, including Germany, France, and Britain, have provided financial assistance to Ukraine for the purchase of arms.

This is one story when they sell to us, and Europe helps us purchase (weapons - ed.). We know that Germany, France, and Britain have provided significant funds for us to buy weapons all over the world. But it is another thing when we talk about Europe's active participation - I have already proposed this and do not know if Europe will go for it, for example, deploying troops here, - emphasized Kostenko.

Oleksandra Ustinova, head of the Holos faction in the Verkhovna Rada, refuted the information about the halt of arms supplies due to the lack of permits from the USA.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the meeting with the special representative of the US president on Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg.

It is worth noting that Zelensky was criticized by Trump himself, who called him a 'dictator' and criticized him for refusing to sign an agreement on the extraction of Ukrainian minerals. Trump also emphasized the need for elections, which aligns with the Kremlin's narratives about the illegitimacy of the Ukrainian leader.
