Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- The Kremlin said on Tuesday it would take time to clarify what weapons the United States is supplying to Ukraine after President Donald Trump indicated Washington would send more arms to Kyiv.
Trump stated on Monday that the U.S. would provide additional weapons to Ukraine, primarily defensive ones, to help the country defend itself against intensifying Russian advances.
When asked about Trump’s comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted there were many contradictory statements about U.S. weapons supplies to Ukraine, though he acknowledged European weapons deliveries were continuing.
"Obviously, supplies are continuing, that’s clear. Obviously, the Europeans are actively involved in pumping Ukraine full of weapons," Peskov said.
"As for what kind of supplies and in what quantity Ukraine continues to receive from the United States, it will still take time to clarify this definitively," he added.
Peskov expressed appreciation for Trump’s efforts to initiate direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. He also mentioned significant potential for restarting Russian-U.S. trade and economic relations.
"But at the moment, the United States is implementing a number of restrictions. We believe that these sanctions are illegal, and they harm not only our entrepreneurs, but also the entrepreneurs of the United States," Peskov said.
