US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth unilaterally suspended military aid to Ukraine for the third time, despite military conclusions that there was no threat to US stockpiles. This decision surprised the State Department, Congress, and European allies, drawing bipartisan criticism.
The suspension of military aid to Ukraine was a unilateral step by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing three congressional aides and a former US official familiar with the matter, NBC News reports, writes UNN.
"The Department of Defense (US) this week delayed the delivery of American weapons to Ukraine due to, according to officials, concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers showed that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military's own ammunition supplies, according to three US officials," the publication states.
The move to halt arms supplies, as the publication writes, "surprised the State Department, members of Congress, officials in Kyiv, and European allies," as reported by numerous sources familiar with the matter.
Among the critics of this decision were Republicans and Democrats who support aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
"We are not at some lower point, in terms of stockpiles, than we were during 3.5 years of conflict in Ukraine," Democratic House Representative Adam Smith, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, told NBC News.
Smith said his staff "saw the numbers" and, without going into detail, that there were no signs of shortages that would justify suspending aid to Ukraine.
"A senior Pentagon official, Elbridge Colby, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (US) for Policy, supported these steps," sources said. Colby has long advocated for reducing US involvement in Ukraine and shifting weapons and resources to the Pacific region to counter China, the publication notes.

Lindsey Graham: “I was NOT consulted about this baffling decision!”. (sarc)
Ukrainian National News, sounds legit.

The Military Services saying “we have enough” must be put into context...especially by Pentagon leadership.
They will report “we have enough” in reaction to a given CONTINGENCY.
Now, if you give them the Contingency of general war with China, they will most certainly say “we are way, way short”.
The materials(btw were never identified)that were denied instead got sent to Israel.
The folks i am followung are saying the ceasefire is being used to rearm both sides.
Israel has a long tradition of violating these agreements as they wish and are seldom punished for doing it
This mess isnt over by a long shot. In fact, its just starting.
I fully expect an attack here on US in the near future. Of course, it will be blamed on Iran so the US will join in attscking Iran again.
Until we get one of our aircraft shot down over Iran and the surviving aircrewmen get marched on the streets Tehran most Americans will go in like nothing happened. Thats all about to happen.
We are being manipulated on scale greater than anything we faced during Covid19 scandemic.
Yep, I got a postcard from Zelensky in Kiev:

Most have absolutely no idea how hard they are getting hammered, but then the usual Ukie supporters still think Ukraine is somehow winning.
There is a lot more video on the NON Western media sites. Censorship still rules western MSM…..post war analysis will be stunning.
(Of course I'm joking... The Senators and Representatives would never give back their ill gotten gains.)
In addition to the bank statements, the stranger who wants your money doesn’t know that you have many credit cards run up to the max and you’re paying top interest rates on them. That is just like the USA giving money out all over the world when we have a multi trillion dollar debt on which we’re paying interest.
shipload of duct tape
some old episodes of red green
should be able to make do with what they have
I guarantee you that the decision was made by Trump, not Hegseth. Was Rubio surprised or is it just the deepstate bureaucracy you still think they own Ukraine policy.
I assure you that Rubio was not surprised. He is not only SecState but also National Security Advisor.
Ukrainian National News “
Yeah ok.
I don’t believe anything in this article.
regardless of any of our views about Ukraine, pro con neutral or apathetic,
no defense secretary would do this without direction or approval from the current POTUS. None

good for pete
“Pentagon chief Hegseth unilaterally halts military aid to Ukraine”
Explains why Trump just FIRED HEGSETH. Oh, wait, he’s still there? Must be that Trump approves of ending military aid.
“But an analysis by senior <(wallet padding) military officers showed that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military’s own ammunition supplies, according to three US officials...”
If they don’t have names, they are nobody.
