The United States is facing criticism from its allies over delays in arms supplies to Ukraine. Partner countries warn that this could affect Kyiv's defence capabilities. They call on Washington to speed up the process of providing military assistance.
Warning to US allies
US allies have expressed concern over Delays in the supply of weapons to Ukraine. They stressed that these delays could negatively affect Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian aggression.
Diplomats from EU and NATO countries said they expected Washington to act more decisively. They stressed that the speed of arms deliveries is critical for Kyiv.
Reasons for delays
The main reason for the delays is the internal political processes in the United States. In particular, Congress has not yet approved a new aid package for Ukraine.
As a result, military support for Kyiv is coming in slower than planned. This poses risks to Ukraine's defence capability as the fighting continues.
Ukraine's response and further steps
The Ukrainian government emphasises the critical need for rapid delivery of weapons. Kyiv urges its partners not to delay decision-making.
The US allies plan to continue putting pressure on Washington. They are considering increasing their own support if the situation does not change in the near future.
Context.
Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, the United States and its allies have provided Ukraine with significant military assistance. However, in 2024-2026, the delivery of weapons was repeatedly delayed due to political disputes in the United States.
Against the backdrop of intensified hostilities in eastern Ukraine, the issue of the speed of arms supplies has become particularly relevant.
