A senior Ukrainian official announced today that the United States has resumed military assistance to Ukraine, signaling a renewed commitment to Kyiv amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.
Palvo Palisa, deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, confirmed the development in a Facebook post, stating, "I have confirmation that US military assistance has been resumed. The agreements are being implemented."
The decision follows high-level talks held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between U.S. and Ukrainian representatives, marking a pivotal moment in diplomatic efforts to address the war.
The resumption of aid comes after uncertainty surrounding U.S. support, which had been scaled back due to domestic political debates and shifting priorities.
The Jeddah discussions, however, appear to have reinvigorated the partnership. Sources indicate that Ukraine’s willingness to accept a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire—contingent on Russia’s agreement—played a key role in unlocking this assistance. Alongside military aid, the U.S. has also reinstated intelligence sharing, bolstering Ukraine’s defensive capabilities.
The move has been hailed as a step toward de-escalation, with both sides eyeing potential peace negotiations.F
or Ukraine, the restored support provides critical resources to sustain its resistance, while the U.S. reaffirms its strategic stance against Russian aggression.
For now, the international community watches closely to see if Russia will reciprocate the ceasefire proposal, potentially altering the trajectory of the war.
