Ukrainian officials say that despite media reports that the Trump administration is halting the delivery of critical air defense interceptors and other munitions, at least some U.S. arms continue to be provided and they have not been informed that these transfers will no longer be made. The news comes at a particularly critical time, as Russia has stepped up its aerial attacks. Earlier this week, Moscow launched its largest air barrage of the war, firing 477 drones and 60 missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Overall, major and relatively sudden shortfalls in planned weapons deliveries could have wide-ranging impacts on the battlefield.
On Wednesday, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Patriot interceptors are still being provided.
“Deliveries are ongoing as of today,” Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, told the Ukrainian FREEDOM TV news outlet. “It would look very strange — it would look inhumane — to stop supplying interceptor missiles, especially for Patriot systems, which clearly and significantly protect civilians across Ukraine.”

It lists the arms that are now withheld. The list is substantial.
And it looks like anything that was in shipment continues to arrive. But that's it.
It’s NOT our war. They aren’t even an ally...
We should ship our illegal invaders to fight their war. What would the left say about that?
z-man shouldn’t have played to cute by 1/2 with us
Ukraine has lost 20 of its country while running NATO and the US out of weapons.
Chickens, Home, Roosting, assembly completed.
This is such a surprise.
Ukraine didn’t beat Putin? They never joined NATO? They didn’t join the EU? They didn’t become a democracy? They didn’t become a judeo Christian country?
The idiocy is amazing
Each one cost between 4-5 million dollars each and you shoot 2 at each incoming target
This is what the Biden Administration was sending to Ukraine. Biden shipped our top shelf systems to Ukraine, not some tired old , obsolete 1980s missiles slated to be scrapped as we were lied to
“This is what the Biden Administration was sending to Ukraine.”
They belong in the Pacific theater.
Ukraine’s been a disaster for a long time.
Vietnam was lost when the US refused to continue to support the South. Now history may repeat itself in Ukraine.
Biden had to ask Japan to send us Patriot missiles for Ukraine, the end of 2023. Japan had to change their arms export rules in order to ship the whole missile to the U.S. Previously, they were only allowed to send missile components. They had to send the missiles to the U.S., because they aren't allowed to send arms to countries at war.
Good. Vietnam was nothing but a proxy war with Russia and China, just like Ukraine is a proxy war with Russia. Proxy wars never end in total victory when the U.S. is involved. Ask South Korea. That was a proxy war with Russia and China too.
But the fact is they were indiscriminately squandered in a phony proxy war intended to be our new forever war.
Those missiles were intentionally wasted with no real intention of winning whatsoever. As a result of this, the Ukraine has lost despite being supplied with and blowing through almost all the weapons America had stockpiled to fight WWIII in Europe
Yup , it’s loony tunes crazy.
Biden had Four Stars searching under the couch cushions of the Pentagon looking for loose change weapons to ship to Ukraine
Total Patriot missile production is 500 per year.

Meanwhile, Russia regularly launches attacks of 500+ missiles per night.

The USA and all of NATO have these ludicrous “Faberge Egg” weapons systems which are absurdly expensive and can’t be build in relevant quantities.
Halt it all please.
America and US taxpayers come first!

Cutting off all military aid will end the war before the year ends.
Good
Europe can supply The Ukie Global Homo Weapon needs.
Losing any degree of freedom is always a good thing, right?
