Zelenskyy, Trump may hold talks amid halt in weapons supplies

Two sources familiar with the plans told Politico about this.

The idea of a phone call was proposed on Tuesday, as reports emerged that the U.S. had suspended some weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

“The U.S. is informing Ukraine [of the decision] today in Kyiv and a phone call will also be organized very soon between Trump and Zelenskyy,” said a European diplomat familiar with the planning.

“The U.S. says this is not a pause, not a suspension. The U.S. is still very much in the process of determining how best to support Ukrainian defense. This is still a priority,” the source added.

• On July 2, Politico reported that the United States has suspended deliveries of certain air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine over concerns about shrinking U.S. stockpiles.
• On July 2, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said that the U.S. has not stopped all arms deliveries to Ukraine, despite a recent Pentagon decision.
