US President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States is supplying Ukraine with defensive weapons, but when asked who suspended the supply, he said he knew nothing about it.

He made the statement on Tuesday during a cabinet meeting at the White House, according to Ukrinform's correspondent.

“So we are sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I’ve approved that,” Trump said.

He added that he is doing so, in particular, because Putin treats human lives incorrectly, “is killing too many people.”

At the same time, in response to a question about who caused the pause in arms supplies to Ukraine last week, Trump said, “I don't know. Why don't you tell me?.”

Immediately after that, he moved on to another question.
