The United States has agreed with NATO and the European Union to resume and accelerate arms supplies to Ukraine. Having failed to persuade Russia to make peace, Washington has set its sights on forcing Russian leader Putin to end the war. This situation could open up new opportunities for the Ukrainian army to repel Russian aggression.

As the US president said during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, they managed to agree on a new scheme for supplying arms to Ukraine. According to Trump, the US will send Ukraine “a variety of military equipment,” which the EU will pay for.

First of all, we are talking about the supply of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems and missiles for them. According to President Trump, “some of them will arrive very soon – in fact, within a few days.” He also noted that “there is one country that has 17 Patriots ready to be sent,” without specifying which country (military analysts suggest that it could be Spain).

These are very relevant supplies for Ukraine. After all, Russia is terrorizing peaceful Ukrainian cities far from the front line with ballistic missile strikes and long-range drones. Thanks to anti-aircraft missile systems, Ukrainians will feel safer.

Other types of weapons and ammunition were not officially reported. However, Mark Rutte assured that Ukraine will receive “a truly huge amount of military equipment, both for air defense and missiles, ammunition.” The NATO Secretary General also said that he was in contact with many countries that intend to join this agreement, in particular, he mentioned Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Canada. He also noted that NATO will work to supply the most necessary weapons and ammunition for Ukrainians.

Several American media outlets reported that this concerns not only defensive, but also offensive types of weapons. According to the American news portal Axios, within the framework of the scheme for supplying Ukraine with American weapons, the United States plans to sell weapons worth about $ 10 billion to NATO allies. https://www.axios.com/2025/07/14/trump-missiles-ukraine-weapons-attack-russia These include air defense systems, artillery shells and long-range missiles that can reach deep into Russian territory.

According to the American publication The Washington Post, there is also talk of supplying missiles with which Ukrainian troops could strike deep into the aggressor's territory. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/07/14/trump-ukraine-war-missiles-russia-arms-package/ According to informed sources, during a recent conversation with the president of Ukraine, the US president asked why Kyiv had not struck Moscow, and added that Ukraine should put more pressure on Russian ruler Putin, in particular, through strikes on the Russian capital Moscow and the second most important Russian city of St. Petersburg. “We can, if you give us weapons,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy replied.

Recall that in early June the US decided to suspend the supply of some weapons to Ukraine. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/01/pentagon-munitions-ukraine-halt-00436048 Obviously, this was supposed to make Ukraine more compliant in the ceasefire negotiations initiated by the US president. However, it turned out that Moscow does not want a ceasefire. Having not seen any real steps towards peace from the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin, the American president changed his position. The British publication The Guardian called President Trump's decision on new arms supplies to Ukraine a historic turn in his policy. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/15/tuesday-briefing-what-trumps-massive-weapons-deal-for-ukraine-means-for-the-war-and-for-putin

It should also be said that the statement on new arms supplies to Ukraine was made against the background of the actual failure of the Russian summer offensive. https://joinuarmy.org/en/all-news/heavy-losses-with-minimal-gains/ In these conditions, the increase in arms supplies creates favorable conditions not only to completely stop the enemy's offensive, but also to deal him powerful counterattacks.

Ukraine is inviting even more foreign volunteers to take part in hostilities amid increased US arms supplies.
