It is noted that this step indicates Trump's "new interest" in defending Ukraine.
More than three years after Russia's invasion of the neighboring country, Trump's team will identify weapons from US stockpiles for shipment to Ukraine under presidential authority to reduce military resources.
According to one of the media's interlocutors, the value of the new weapons provided to Ukraine by Washington could be around $300 million.
"Presidential authority to reduce military resources allows the president to use weapon stockpiles to assist allies in emergencies," the article says.

On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the resumption of aid supplies from the US after "very positive and constructive conversations" with Donald Trump. Currently, teams are working to ensure timely delivery of aid to Ukraine.
