The arms deliveries have continued despite claims of disruptions, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

US weapons deliveries to Ukraine have continued uninterrupted despite reports of funding gaps and political wrangling, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. He told reporters on Monday that shipments of weapons, ammunition, and military equipment from the US "have continued and are continuing."

Several weeks ago, Western media outlets reported that the US temporarily halted some military aid shipments while reviewing its own stockpiles. The Pentagon later said the assistance to Kiev would resume under updated planning.

US President Donald Trump previously expressed frustration over the cost of supplying Ukraine with Patriot missiles. While stating that the US will continue to supply Patriots, he suggested that the EU will be responsible for covering the costs. According to CBS and other outlets, the Pentagon has also been pressuring Germany to transfer its own Patriot batteries to Ukraine.

Commenting on the situation, Peskov said, "there has been a lot said about how expensive all this is" and how the deliveries will be paid for by Europe. Nevertheless, "the fact remains that US deliveries of arms, ammunition, and military hardware to Ukraine have continued and are continuing," he added.

Axios has reported that in addition to Patriots, Trump is also considering providing long-range missiles capable of striking targets deep inside Russian territory. He is also expected to make a "very aggressive" statement on Ukraine during a meeting scheduled for Monday.

Moscow has condemned Western military support for Kiev, arguing that the aid only serves to prolong the conflict without altering the outcome.
