The US has reportedly halted weapon sales and deliveries to Ukraine, a Ukrainian lawmaker claimed on Thursday.

Lawmaker Roman Kostenko, who works as the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada’s Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, said some companies involved in weapon sales and deliveries to Ukraine are waiting for political decisions, but the exact reason for the suspension is unclear.

“According to my information, deliveries of the weapons that were going to be sold have stopped. Those companies that were supposed to transfer these weapons here are now waiting, because there is no decision,” Kostenko said in an interview.

Kostenko added that the parties involved are trying to resolve the issue, potentially with extra payments.

4. The most despicable American ever!

The Traitor-Turd sold out our country; the Traitor-Turd sold out our NATO allies; and, the Traitor-Turd sold out Ukraine. The Turd sold out "Freedom" and "Democracy" to a War Criminal Russian Dictator (as despicable as Stalin) whom the Turd idolizes and worships. American Traitor, Russian asset and Vladimir Putin's Puppet! The most despicable American ever! There's no place deep enough in Hell for this traitor!

5. But . . . but . . . but

The poor arms manufacturers--what will they do? I know--sell arms to Russia to wipe out Ukraine, and to Israel so they can finish leveling Gaza for the resort builders. Win-win!

10. Maybe they'll be financially compensated

Half kidding.

6. These sales were authorized by Congress

TFG was impeached for doing this once

[neohippie]

7. That was a very different Congress

What has this Congress done to stand up to Trump and what accountability came from the last Congress's attempt?

8. The squeeze is starting.

Nice country you got there; be a shame if it became Russia.

Better pony up those rare earth minerals or you're SOL, Ukrainians.

9. With Trumpsky, it's likely to be "and" rather than "or." n/t
