The White House said on Tuesday, July 1st, that it is halting some key weapons shipments to Ukraine that were promised under the Biden administration.
The Pentagon review determined that stocks had become too low on some previously pledged munitions, and that some pending shipments now would not be sent, said a U.S. official.
Missiles for Patriot air defence systems, precision artillery, and Hellfire missiles are among the items being held back.
Stopping the delivery of munitions and other military aid including air defence systems likely would be a blow to Ukraine as it contends with some of Russia’s largest missile and drone attacks of the three-year-old war.
The curtailment of military aid signals a possible shift in the priorities of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pressed for Russia and Ukraine to speed up stalled peace talks.
