US halts some missile shipments to Ukraine over low stockpiles, sources say
UKRAINE, JUL 3 – The Pentagon paused shipments of Patriot missiles and precision munitions to preserve US stockpiles after providing over $67 billion in aid to Ukraine since 2022, officials said.
- As of July 1, 2025, the Pentagon has suspended the shipment of key U.S. missile systems—including air defense and air-to-ground munitions—intended for Ukraine, resulting in these weapons being held in storage facilities located in Poland.
- The suspension followed a Pentagon review led by Elbridge Colby due to concerns about dwindling U.S. military stockpiles after over $67 billion in aid.
- This pause occurs amid escalating Russian assaults, including an unprecedented overnight barrage of 537 missiles and drones, as well as the documented deployment of North Korea’s KN-23 ballistic missiles.
- Ukrainian officials, including President Zelensky, described the freeze as painful, while U.S. lawmakers criticized it as risking Ukraine’s air defenses amid rising attacks.
- The blockage raises fears of weakened Ukrainian defenses, potentially reinforcing Russia’s war of attrition strategy and complicating prospects for peace negotiations.
