Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has summoned John Ginkel, the US chargé d’affaires in Ukraine, for discussions amid growing concerns about military assistance.

Axar.az informs, citing Ukrainian media, On 2 July, acting at the request of Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, the ministry invited US envoy Ginkel to discuss Ukraine-US defence cooperation and military support in the context of Russia’s intensifying aggression and terror tactics.

Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa met with Ginkel and expressed gratitude for US support since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. She underscored the critical importance of continuing previously agreed-upon arms deliveries, especially those aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s air defence.

During the meeting, the Ukrainian side expressed concerns about "any delay or slowing down in supporting Ukraine".

The meeting comes amid media reports that the Pentagon has paused the delivery of certain air defence missiles and other high-precision munitions to Ukraine due to concerns about critically low US stockpiles.
