It has been claimed that the Donald Trump administration in the U.S. warned that there could be a disruption in the supply of weapons to Ukraine due to rising tensions and increasing attacks with Iran. According to reports in the U.S. press, the State Department officially informed its allies that strategic priorities in the region could change.
It was claimed that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump warned its allies that shipments of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine could be disrupted in the coming months due to tensions in the Middle East.
According to a report by Politico, based on three European officials familiar with the discussions, the U.S. State Department indicated that there could be delays in deliveries to Ukraine, particularly regarding Patriot air defense systems.
TO BE DISCUSSED AT G7 AGENDA
According to the information in the report, it was suggested that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to address the issue with allies at the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting.
IS THE PRIORITY THE IRAN FRONT?
According to claims, the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) prioritizes using some of the mentioned weapons and ammunition for operations against Iran. It is stated that this situation could directly affect the speed and quantity of shipments to Ukraine.
A European official stated, "Some assurances were received that the deliveries planned under the Priority Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) would not be redirected to other regions."
REACTION FROM NATO
An unnamed NATO diplomat quoted in the report expressed that redirecting shipments under PURL to the Gulf region would be "unacceptable."
MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS ESCALATE
As tensions rise in the region following the attacks launched by Israel and the U.S. against Iran on February 28, Iran has responded with attacks on various targets, including U.S. bases in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.
It is assessed that the developments could affect not only the Middle East but also the course of the war in Ukraine.
