The United States has halted all military assistance to Ukraine, including ammunition and spare parts, according to unnamed Ukrainian officials who spoke with *The Economist*.
Reports indicate that on June 30-July 1, the Pentagon redirected cargo planes originally scheduled to transport U.S. air defense missiles and other weapons to European bases for eventual transfer to Ukraine.
While the Pentagon described the pause as temporary and subject to reversal, Ukrainian sources told *The Economist* that the White House appears to be using this move to pressure Kyiv into making concessions.
*The Wall Street Journal* revealed that the restrictions even impacted American ammunition stockpiled in Poland for Ukraine, citing sources within former President Donald Trump’s administration and congressional officials.
A detailed list of blocked weaponry reportedly included over two dozen Patriot PAC-3 missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft systems, Hellfire air-to-ground missiles, more than 90 AIM air-to-air missiles, and other systems.
A CBS News source within the White House clarified that the suspension affects not just Ukraine but multiple nations receiving U.S. arms, as part of a "broader review" by the Pentagon. The specific countries impacted remain undisclosed.
In response, the U.S. State Department denied that all military aid to Ukraine had been suspended.
