Ukraine seeks clarity on U.S. halting air defense aid amid Russian attacks
Briefly

The U.S. Defense Department has announced a halt in deliveries of air defense munitions to Ukraine, which comes in response to low military stockpiles due to a reassessment of global military support. This decision prioritizes U.S. interests and has left Ukrainian officials surprised and seeking clarification from American counterparts. Reports suggest that the halted weapons may include vital air defense systems. As Russian aerial attacks intensify, Ukraine continues to request increased military aid to bolster its defenses against ongoing assaults.
The U.S. Defense Department decided to halt some shipments to Ukraine after a review found American military stockpiles to be low.
This decision was made to put America's interests first following a review of our nation's military support and assistance to other countries across the globe.
American officials did not specify which weapons were being halted, but news reports indicated that they could include air defense systems.
In June alone, Russia sent more than 5,000 self-detonating drones crashing into Ukrainian cities, with substantial civilian casualties.
