The United States is halting some shipments of weapons previously promised to Ukraine for use in its war with Russia under the Biden administration after a Pentagon review determined that US stockpiles have declined too much.
A decision was made to put Americas interests first following a Defense Department review of US military support to other countries around the world, said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly in a statement.
Kellys comment came after a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity was quoted by Politico as saying the Pentagon review determined that stocks were too low on some items previously pledged, so pending shipments of some items wont be sent.
The United States, which has provided Ukraine more than $66 billion worth of weapons and military assistance since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, has pressed allies to provide air defense systems and other equipment to Ukraine. But many are reluctant to give up their high-tech systems, particularly countries in Eastern Europe that also feel threatened by Russia.
