> A Russian lawmaker says Western countries may follow the United States in cutting weapons assistance to Ukraine. Earlier media reports said US President Donald Trump declined Vladimir Zelensky’s request for additional Patriot interceptors. The claim links Washington’s reported decision on the request to the possibility of reduced support from other Western countries. It presents the potential shift as a broader consequence of the US position.
