Military aid shipment to Ukraine was halted by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, driven by concerns that U.S. weapon stockpiles are critically low. This shipment included vital air defense missiles needed by Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia. Hegseth, who has previously faced scrutiny over military communication mishaps, has paused supplies on three occasions. The Biden administration had promised this aid last year. Officials stress that a review by the Pentagon prioritizes U.S. defense commitments, ensuring no arms shortage exists for American forces while evaluating global military assistance.
