A rumor is spreading, that the US has stopped all arms sales to Ukraine. However, according to Ukrainian member of parliament Oleksandra Ustinova, this rumor is false.

The US arms deliveries have been paused many times over various issues, so it could be that there is a temporary pause, which has sparked the rumor.

We will just have to wait and see.

@randahl I suspect it's not so much delays in physical arms that will be the issue, at least not immediately, but more the services they and existing equipment rely on to function.

I suspect we'll be hearing more on this, soon. #starlink

Replacing Starlink would be problematic, but not impossible — much greater problem is satellite imagery and military intelligence the Pentagon is sharing, long-range missile and UAV strikes deep into Russia's territory depend on it heavily and I'm afraid Trump might insist on shutting that down. No one in Europe simply has the capacity to stand in.
