US administration to pause arms supplies to Ukraine • FRANCE 24 English

In what looks to be a severe blow to Ukraine’s war effort, Washington says it will pause arms deliveries to Ke. NBC and the New York Times report that Defense Secretary Pete Hgsith made the decision because of concerns about the US military stockpiles. Hexath had ordered a review of the army’s munitions inventory, which has been depleted after 3 years of supplying weapons to Ukraine and carrying out military operations in the Middle East. Among the weapons likely to be delayed are Patriot interceptors, 155 mm howitzer munitions, Hellfire missiles, GMLRS missile systems, and Stinger surfaceto-air missiles. Just this week, Ukraine’s foreign minister said Kev had been asking Washington for more deliveries. We continue to count on hopes for additional systems from our partners. I would also like to reiterate that we have reached out to the US side. President Zalinski personally appealed to President Trump with a proposal to procure additional Patriot systems capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. station. A halt in deliveries would hamper Ukraine’s abilities to defend its cities from Russian drone and missile attacks and also impede its own precision strikes against Russian targets. Sources say the deliveries being paused were scheduled for several months from now, but there are fears in key if the suspension will be assigned to Moscow that Ukraine’s support from the West is compromised.

The U.S. is halting some shipments of weapons to Ukraine amid concerns that its own stockpiles have declined too much, officials said Tuesday, a setback for the country as it tries to fend off escalating attacks from Russia. In Ukraine, this reduction in aid is causing concern, prompting the country to seek support from other allies.

  4. Ukraine signed a rare mineral deal for those weapons. I'd say now Trump can kiss those minerals goodbye.

    Any more doubt that Trump is a Russian asset?

  6. The US need patriot interceptors to protect themselves from all the countries that have been very mean to them, like Canada and Denmark.

  9. Trust Russia or trust America no ,don’t be silly. America has accepted that Russia will win and now just supports Israel.

  11. U.K. leaked intelligence that undermined Trump and U.S. interests. That had nothing to do with them. You Europeans poked your nose in business that wasn't yours. You "children" need an attitude adjustment. Thinking you can keep manipulating the U.S. politics.
