The United States has temporarily halted certain weapons shipments to Kyiv due to concerns over America’s interest and the drop in US military stockpiles. This decision comes after a thorough review conducted by the Department of Defense regarding military support for other nations. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the US has sent billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine, leading to concerns within the Trump administration about low stockpiles. Ukrainian officials have not commented on the announcement, and US officials have not yet disclosed which specific shipments will be halted.
Air defense missiles and precision munitions are among the weapons that will be affected. The Department of Defense will continue to provide options for military aid to Ukraine while also examining and adapting their approach to preserve readiness for Administration defense priorities. This move is based on concerns over US military stockpiles being too low. The spokesperson for the White House, Anna Kelly, emphasized the strength of the United States Armed Forces by referencing recent strikes against Iranian nuclear sites. These developments follow a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
