WashingtonAccording to officials on Tuesday, the United States is stopping some supply of munitions and air defense missiles to Ukraine because of worries that its own supplies have decreased too much.
Under the Biden administration, Ukraine had previously been promised the weaponry to be used in its continuing fight with Russia. However, President Donald Trump’s new priorities are reflected in the halt.
According to a statement from White House spokesperson Anna Kelly, this decision was made to prioritize America’s interests after a DOD evaluation of our country’s military aid and support to other nations worldwide. Ask Iran to prove that the US military is still unquestionably strong.
According to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal information not yet made public, the Pentagon evaluation found that supplies were too low on some previously pledged items, therefore pending shipments of those items won’t be shipped.
Since Russia’s invasion in February 2022, the United States has given Ukraine more than $66 billion in military aid and equipment.
