This is a HUGE developing story…

The Pentagon has halted shipments of certain air defense missiles and other munitions to Ukraine due to realizations that the Biden Regime left US-stockpiles dangerously bare:

SCOOP: The Pentagon has halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low, @paulmcleary writes

The decision was driven by DOD policy chief Elbridge Colby, and was made after a review of Pentagon munitions stockpiles, leading to concerns that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles and precision munitions was sinking

For historical context, the draining occurred during the Biden Administration, but greatly accelerated during the last weeks and months in office.

Remember this?

Here’s a quick summary of all developing key facts around this story:

The U.S. has paused shipments of certain weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot missile parts, artillery shells, and Hellfire missiles, due to concerns over low U.S. stockpiles.

This decision came after a Pentagon-led stockpile review in June, aimed at ensuring U.S. readiness and prioritizing domestic defense needs.

The pause affects some munitions previously promised under the Biden administration’s aid package, but no formal cancellation of support has been announced.

The Trump administration is not requesting new aid for Ukraine at this time but is continuing to use funds already allocated, balancing that with U.S. and allied defense needs.

A White House spokesperson emphasized the move is intended to “put America’s interests first” while still maintaining strong overall military support where necessary.

President Trump has expressed openness to continuing air-defense support for Ukraine, including possibly supplying Patriot systems, especially following his recent meeting with President Zelensky.

While I think this is great, I do have one question and I don’t mean to pick on the Trump Administration by asking this, but how is this just now coming to light on July 1?

Shouldn’t we have been on top of this five months ago?

Reuters carries some explanation, noting that there have been prior (temporary) paused in February and March;

The Pentagon has halted some shipments of air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine over concerns that U.S. stockpiles are too low, two people familiar with the decision said on Tuesday.

The Pentagon’s slowing of some weapons shipments promised to Kyiv under former President Joe Biden’s administration occurred in recent days, the people said.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Among the weapons that are being delayed are air defense interceptors that would help knock down inbound Russian drones and missiles and other munitions, the people said.

Russia, which already controls about a fifth of Ukraine, continues to advance gradually, gaining ground in recent weeks in Ukraine’s southeastern regions of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk, and ramping up air attacks nationwide.

All weapons aid was briefly paused in February with a second longer pause in March. The Trump administration resumed sending the last of the aid approved under Biden.
