KYIV – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the US resumed shipping military aid to Ukraine, which was unexpectedly put on halt last week.
“According to all reports, the supply has been renewed,” Mr Zelenskiy said late on July 11 in his daily video address to the nation.
“We will continue to work with the American side at the military level, in particular our military with General Keith Kellogg.”
Gen Kellogg is a retired general and the US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia.

Separately, Germany plans to deliver long-range missiles to Ukraine in the “high three-digit” range starting at the end of July, according to a ZDF interview with Major-General Christian Freuding published late on July 11. BLOOMBERG
