Amid US Arms Shipment Suspension, Lithuanian FM Urges Continued Support for Ukraine

  • On July 2, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte urged the US to reverse its halt of key weapons shipments to Ukraine at the NATO summit in The Hague last week.
  • The US stopped shipments, including Patriot missiles and artillery shells, citing depleted stockpiles after a Pentagon review, while Ukraine faces intensifying Russian attacks.
  • Rutte acknowledged US defense needs but emphasized Ukraine's urgent requirement for ammunition and air defense in the short term amidst Europe's increasing support.
  • Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov welcomed the shipment halt as bringing the war's end closer, whereas Ukraine's Foreign Ministry warned delays encourage continued aggression.
  • Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys pledged ongoing support for Ukraine and urged others to maintain aid, highlighting the conflict's persistence and shifting burden to Europe.
