The US administration announced the suspension of sending "certain arms shipments" to Ukraine, including air defense missiles, justifying this by "putting the interests of the United States first", as the move came within the framework of Washington's concern about the decline in its ammunition stockpiles. The "Politico" website and the "NBC News" channel reported that the United States has stopped delivering some of the weapons it had previously promised to Ukraine, including missiles and ammunition, due to concerns about shortages in American supplies. The American decision, according to the local press, comes in the wake of concerns expressed by the (Pentagon) regarding the American military reserves from which the American military aid to Ukraine is directly derived.
