Pentagon Temporarily Halts Delivery of Critical Precision Ammunition to Ukraine Amid Stockpile Concerns
Amid ongoing military escalation and increasing pressures on Ukraine's defenses, the U.S. administration has made the decision to suspend certain promised military supplies, including high-precision munitions and anti-aircraft systems. According to sources close to government circles, including senior Defense Department officials, this decision was made by the Department's chief policy advisor, Elbridge Colby, after a thorough review of the military stockpiles. It was found that the strategic reserves of artillery shells, anti-aircraft missiles, and high-precision munitions have been significantly depleted and are nearing critical levels, raising concerns about the capacity to continue support for Ukraine. Since early June, a decision has been implemented to temporarily halt the supply of certain types of weaponry that were promised under the Biden administration. However, this measure officially took effect only recently, at a time when Ukrainian forces are defending against intense attacks using rockets and drones carried out by Russia on civilian targets in Kyiv and other cities. Information about this pause is provided by anonymous sources, and at the time of publication, Pentagon and Biden administration officials have not issued any official comments on the situation.
