US Halts Key Ukraine Weapons Deliveries Amid Russian Barrage

The Trump administration is halting the transfer of artillery rounds and air defenses to Ukraine, depriving the country of much-needed weapons as it endures stepped-up missile and drone attacks from Russia.

The White House confirmed a Politico report on the stoppage, which said the move came after a review of US munitions stockpiles and amid concerns they had fallen too low. Among the weapons that are being paused are 155mm artillery shells, Stinger shoulder-fired missiles, Patriot air-defense batteries and Hellfire missiles, PBS Newshour’s Nick Schifrin reported.
