Ukraine Stunned as US Pauses Key Weapons Shipments

Ukraine was caught off guard after the U.S. suddenly halted shipments of crucial weapons, including Patriot missiles and artillery, without prior notice. Kyiv learned of the move through media reports and summoned a U.S. diplomat for clarification. The decision comes amid escalating Russian attacks, raising fears of weakened Ukrainian defenses. The White House cited a broader strategic review, while Russia welcomed the development. Ukrainian officials urged continued Western support to prevent further civilian suffering and maintain resistance against Russian aggression.
