US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Washington would supply weapons to Ukraine, with European nations covering all the costs. He called it a "very big deal" with "billions of dollars worth of military equipment" to be purchased from the US.

US plans to replenish US army reserves are expected to take priority over Ukraine's needs.Russia has repeatedly said that Western arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the resolution of the military conflict and involve NATO countries in the crisis.

US Weapon Supplies to Ukraine May Backlog for Couple Years - Reports
MOSCOW, July 15 (Sputnik) - The planned US weapon supplies to Ukraine via NATO may take several years to deliver because of the existing backlogs on most weapons, Politico reported, citing a US defense official familiar with the matter.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Washington would supply weapons to Ukraine, with European nations covering all the costs. He called it a "very big deal" with "billions of dollars worth of military equipment" to be purchased from the US. The president also said that the military aid would include Patriot air defense systems with all the weapon's components.
"I know our industry can and will sell to allies, but there are already delivery backlogs on most weapons so these deals will either jump to the top of the list or they will have to wait a couple years for delivery," the anonymous US official was quoted as saying by Politico.
