Bloomberg: NATO fears halt in arms supply to Ukraine over Kyiv-Trump conflict

Risk of halting deliveries under the PURL programme

Leadership of the North Atlantic Alliance has expressed concern over the potential cessation of arms deliveries to Ukraine. According to Bloomberg, this threat is linked to the current escalation in relations between Kyiv and US President Donald Trump.

Sources within the Alliance note that further escalation of the conflict could prompt the White House chief to decide to halt weapons supplies under the PURL programme.

Allies' efforts and absence of visit plans

To prevent this scenario, NATO is urging the Ukrainian side to lower the temperature in dialogue with the US administration. In parallel, European countries are attempting to help Kyiv improve relations with Trump's team, one interlocutor reported.

Meanwhile, another source reports that an official visit by the Ukrainian leader to Washington is not currently planned. This differs from previous episodes of disputes between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, when such trips took place.
