Backstab from the Pentagon: CNN learned how aid to Ukraine was secretly halted from Trump

According to hvylya.net: The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, unexpectedly suspended American weapon supplies to Ukraine without coordinating this with the White House. President Trump expressed his surprise at this action and asked why he was not informed in time.

This decision caused chaos in the government. The U.S. Special Representative to Ukraine and Secretary of State Rubio learned about the suspension from the news. Congress was also surprised by this turn of events.

This is the second time this year that Hegseth has halted weapon supplies to Ukraine without prior agreement with other agencies. After Trump learned about the situation, he demanded the restoration of supplies, at least partially. The Pentagon officially announced the restoration of supplies on Monday evening.

This news indicates an internal division in approaches to Ukraine within the U.S. government and shows the complexity of relationships between key officials in defense and foreign policy.
