The Pentagon has halted the supply of missiles and ammunition to Ukraine due to critically low levels of American military stockpiles. The decision was made following a review of ammunition led by policy chief Elbridge Colby. There are concerns about the overall number of artillery shells, air defense missiles, and precision munitions, which is rapidly decreasing, reports Politico.
The decision to suspend part of the aid promised under the previous administration was made in June and takes effect now, as Ukraine is facing attacks from Russian missiles and drones on civilian infrastructure in Kyiv and other cities.
The decision to suspend the supply of missiles and ammunition has caused outrage among Ukraine's allies in Congress, who are concerned that this may leave the country vulnerable to possible future Russian attacks.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to cast its shadow over the geopolitical situation in the world, highlighting the importance of international support and security for Ukraine during this critical period.
