Bruce answered that it is “a very good question, but good it would not be a factor.”
Direct LanguageC: “Because we have not suspended the supply of weapons to Ukraine. This is one aspect, one situation, one event that has changed. As you heard from the Ministry of Defense, there are many other reliable options and efforts on the situation in Ukraine with weapons.”
Details: The spokeswoman added that President Donald Trump also “confirmed his unchanged commitment to Patriot missiles.”
“I emphasize once again that this does not mean the termination of our help to Ukraine or the supply of weapons. This is one event in one situation, and we will discuss what will happen next. But it is not necessary to draw too wide conclusions,” Bruce said.
She added that the Ministry of Defense’s statement clearly stated that “they have reliable options.”
“And we continue to work on providing assistance to Ukraine in the case of options it may have. This is information from the Ministry of Defense. And I do not doubt it. Therefore, in my opinion, we should be careful about assessing the nature of what has just happened, given our unchanged commitment to Ukraine,” the State Department said.
