John Bolton: Trump’s Phone Call with Putin, Pause on Weapons Assistance to Ukraine Won’t Bring Us Closer to the End of the Russia-Ukraine War At All

EXCERPT:

SANCHEZ: “I also quickly wanted to get your thoughts on President Trump speaking with Vladimir Putin shortly after the U.S. announced that it would pause certain weapons shipments to Ukraine. Do you think this is getting closer to a real negotiation with Vladimir Putin, an end to the war in Ukraine?”
BOLTON: “No, I don't think so at all. I think what I'm worried about is the question whether in fact there's been a conscious decision made to cut off assistance to the Ukraine, both weapons, ammunition, and military intelligence. I am very doubtful about this Defense Department decision to pause, to hold up weapons shipments because of alleged insufficiencies in our own arsenal.”
