During the briefing, a journalist asked whether Putin's latest assessment, voiced by President Donald Trump, would lead to changes in US policy towards Ukraine.
In response, Tammy Bruce emphasized that the United States' position remains unchanged. The US continues to support Ukraine, and the brief pause in arms supplies was merely part of a planned review of all military aid programs, not a change in course.
We have been and remain Ukraine's biggest supporters. We care about these people, we care about them having everything they need
She noted that US President Donald Trump is "resolutely determined" to provide Ukraine with everything necessary for self-defense, especially given the mass killings and the need to achieve a ceasefire.
"The President has been very clear on this. And without going into the specifics of what he feels, obviously, he is resolutely determined in terms of Ukraine's ability to defend itself," Bruce noted.
