The ceasefire will "encourage" Russia, warns the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kyiv.
"The Ukrainian side emphasized that all types of delays or procrastination of support for Ukraine's defense will only encourage the aggressor to continue the war", it says in a statement on the occasion of the call.
Are dependent
From the defense department, it is announced that future warfare will be "difficult" without American ammunition.
We are very dependent on access to American weapons, even though Europe does its best. It will be difficult for us without American ammunition, says a high-ranking defense source to AFP.
The weapons were promised during the time of the USA's former president Joe Biden, as support to Ukraine in Russia's war of aggression. The delivery is now stopped by the sitting president Donald Trump, which the newspaper Politico reported first.
"This decision was made to put America's interests first after a review of our nation's military support and assistance to other countries around the world", says spokesperson Anna Kelly in a statement.
Have received billion support
The review, which was conducted by the Department of Defense, established that the USA's own arsenal of weapons has decreased too much regarding certain types of weapons that were previously promised to Ukraine. This means that some expected deliveries will not be sent, says an anonymous high-ranking official.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the USA has provided Ukraine with weapons and military assistance worth around 66 billion dollars, equivalent to over 620 billion kronor.
