MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukraine has stopped receiving any military supplies from the US, including shells and spare parts, the Economist has reported, citing Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian officials believe that the administration of US President Donald Trump tries to push Ukraine for political concessions by halting the supplies, the media said. Since January, Trump has not made any new commitments regarding weapons for Ukraine, it recalled. On Tuesday, US media reported that the Pentagon paused deliveries of certain air defense missiles and precision munitions to Ukraine over concerns that the US's own stock was running critically low. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly confirmed the halt in supplies to NBC News, stating that the decision prioritized US interests.
On Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the fewer weapons were supplied to Kiev the sooner the special military operation would end.
Russia has repeatedly said that Western arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the resolution of the military conflict and make NATO countries a party to the crisis. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned that any cargo containing weapons for Ukraine will be a legitimate target for the Russian military.

How are the North Korean troops and gear getting to Russia and then the front in Ukraine? By train? Boats? Planes?
Anyways, to the last Ukie !
Political concessions....you mean like “End the War”...and draw a line....just like Korea....and stop the damn killing.
Good.
We never should have interfered in Ukraine’s internal affairs in the first place.
Oh nice. That is what I voted for.

Maximus wept. Wept as the possibility of his checks bouncing arises.
This should please the Putinistas.
Very good. Hopefully Trump doesnt get cold feet here.
And that means going back to 2014...when we supported the coup.
Should please anybody that doesnt want their tax money thrown in the toilet while simultaneously weakening their own defensive capabilities.
“Oh nice. That is what I voted for.”
Sounds like the obvious has dawned on Trump - there is only ONE WAY to end the war, and he’s finally doing it. Sad for all the lives lost in the past 5 months, though.
What is happening is that the Trump Administration has looked at our US inventory of weapons, which has been dangerously depleted by Biden Administrations massive, indiscriminate transfer of US weapons to Ukraine over 3+ years of war plus another costly Biden Era war in the Middle East.
We literally have nothing left to give and still maintain an adequate ready reserve for US defense needs. No doubt , the Trump Administration will send what they can to try to finish out the legacy weapons transfers that Congress allocated under the Biden Administration.
But the funding for these Biden era weapons and financial support agreements are mostly expiring and and funding allocations are running out of funds in the next few months.
And worst for the Ukraine, their President Zelenskyy has inexplicably chosen to align himself with President Trumps most bitter political opponents at home and abroad and has made it a point to ridicule and demean a sitting American president whose support he desperately needs to survive at every opportunity.
Zelensky has done the Ukraine no favors with his conduct of the war.
Keep going...those color revolutions in the early 2000s didn't fund themselves.
Does Zelensky think that speaking out against what Trump does is helpful....like the world will rise up against Trump??
Linda Graham is probably crapping his bloomers.......no Defense Contractor $$$$ for YOU!
Last I heard, “Z” said he would buy the next batch of weapons My question....with what??
