Ukraine says US resumes military aid to Kiev

KIEV -- US military aid to Ukraine has been restored, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported Wednesday.

The agency cited Pavlo Palisa, deputy head of the Ukrainian President's office and a member of the delegation to talks with the United States held in Saudi Arabia's port city of Jeddah. Palisa also noted that the agreements reached during the negotiations "are beginning to be implemented."

Meanwhile, the local Ukrainska Pravda media outlet reported that the United States has also lifted its pause on intelligence sharing with Ukraine, citing US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

On Tuesday, the US and Ukrainian delegations held talks in Saudi Arabia. After the meeting, they issued a joint statement announcing that the United States would resume security assistance to Ukraine and restore intelligence sharing.

The United States suspended its military aid for Ukraine earlier this month after a rare shouting match at the White House between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in late February.
