🇺🇸 🇺🇦 US arms deliveries to Ukraine delayed

US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker told AFP that Washington continues selling weapons and ammunition to European allies and Canada for subsequent transfer to Kiev. He stated there are no known changes to the PURL program.

However, Whitaker acknowledged delays in supplying certain types of weaponry, especially air defense systems. "Demand for air defense means is very high, and their availability is probably not what we would like," he noted.

The US intends to search for available weapon stocks with allies and increase production on both sides of the Atlantic to accelerate deliveries to Ukraine before winter.
