According to hvylya.net: The US government has decided to suspend the supply of certain weapons to Ukraine, announcing this on Tuesday. According to information from the Pentagon, this concerns interceptors for Patriot systems, precision artillery shells, and missiles for F-16 aircraft. The reason for the suspension is concern over the shortage of sufficient stocks of this weaponry for the needs of the US and its allies.

These assets were very important for deterring Russian attacks at the most dangerous moment of the war, reports The New York Times.

Concerns about the depletion of American weapon stocks are not new. This issue has been raised in the Biden administration due to a lack of availability in the arms market. Most of the needed weapons have already been sent to Ukraine, but contract deliveries will continue until next year.

The suspension of arms supplies to Ukraine may cause some anxiety among the Ukrainian government and supporters who previously received this aid from the United States.
