The U.S. is halting some shipments of weapons to Ukraine amid concerns that its own stockpiles have declined too much.

Among the halted supplies are Patriot air defence systems, artillery rounds, and missiles used by Ukrainian forces in US-made F-16 jets, according to Pentagon officials. These systems have been instrumental in helping Ukraine resist intensified Russian attacks over the past few months.

The United States has decided to pause some shipments of air defence missiles and other weapons to Ukraine because its own supplies are running low, reflecting a shift in priorities under President Donald Trump.
