Pentagon Freezes Ukraine Air Defense Shipments Amid Rising Russian Attacks
The Trump administration's decision to halt shipments of critical air defense missiles and precision munitions to Ukraine has sparked widespread concern among lawmakers and analysts amid intensifying Russian attacks. Pentagon officials cited a review of U.S. munitions stockpiles as the reason for the pause, but critics argue this move undermines Ukraine's defense at a perilous stage of the war, especially following Russia's largest aerial assault to date. Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike condemned the freeze, warning that it weakens U.S. leverage over Russia and contradicts President Trump's recent commitments to support Kyiv, including promises made at the NATO summit. Key figures such as Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen called for urgent clarifications and briefings, while some pointed to Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as driving forces behind the decision, deviating from the administration's stated goals. Ukrainian officials have summoned U.S. diplomats for explanations, reflecting growing frustration over the disruption of weapons deliveries during escalating hostilities. The bipartisan backlash underscores concerns that the halt could shift military advantages to Russia and jeopardize efforts toward a negotiated peace.
