A VAGUE PLEDGE TO SEND WEAPONS TO UKRAINE: With Russia rejecting any ceasefire and stepping up its almost daily drone assaults on Ukrainian cities, President Donald Trump has ordered a resumption of shipments of defensive weapons to Ukraine, though details are vague.

“We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question at last night’s White House Dinner for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “You have defensive weapons primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess.”
