The Pentagon suspends the supply of ammunition to Ukraine. The portal indicates a possible reason
As the portal writes, the suspension of deliveries applies to some air defense systems and other precise rockets. However, it has not been stated which specific types of ammunition are about. The decision was to be made by the deputy head of the Elbridge Colby defense ministry, previously known as a skeptic of supporting Kiev Due to the needs of deterrent to China.
Decision after a review of American wrestling
According to Politico, the decision was made at the beginning of June after an ammunition inventory review in American arsenals. The review was to be concerned about the falling number of available artillery shells, anti -aircraft shells and precise ammunition. The decision was to come into force, however, only recently, at a time when Russia conducts a particularly increased bombing of Ukrainian cities.

This ammunition has so far flowed to Ukraine as part of packages approved by the previous President Joe Biden and came from both American warehouses and from shopping from weapons producers. According to Politico sources, This package should be enough to continue delivery for the next few months. The Trump administration has not yet approved any new help for Ukraine or has not asked Congress for additional funds for this purpose.
The Pentagon and the White House have not yet commented on the matter. Ukraine has long been seeking Trump's administration for the purchase of additional patriot and rocket systems. After meeting the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zielnski at the NATO summit in Hague, President Trump did not rule out such a possibility, but then he stated that “they are very difficult to get.”
