The Trump administration’s decision to halt the delivery of some weapons to Ukraine, citing a Pentagon review of its dwindling stockpiles, was a long-held concern for Kyiv that finally became a reality.

The move "was made to put America’s interests first," a White House spokeswoman said, as U.S. munitions have been depleted in recent years.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced it had suspended some weapons deliveries to Ukraine. The Defense Department says the U.S. needs the weapons to be ready for its own contingencies.
