@cspanofficial: President Trump said Monday evening the U.S. would resume sending weapons to Kyiv amid escalating Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. “We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” he told reporters. “We’re going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess.” The announcement comes just one week after the Pentagon partially paused weapons transfers to the war-torn country, saying it was reviewing all U.S. military aid. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the resumption of the flow of weapons shortly after the president’s remarks. “At President Trump’s direction, the Department of Defense is sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine to ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves while we work to secure a lasting peace and ensure the killing stops,” he said in a statement. #trump #ukrainewar #cspan
