💨 Abstract

The Pentagon has paused some shipments of air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine, citing depleted U.S. stockpiles. This delay, announced on Tuesday, affects weapons like air defense interceptors crucial for defending against Russian drones and missiles. Despite these hold-ups, Russia continues to make slow advances in southeastern Ukraine and escalates its air strikes. The weapons pause is not part of a new policy. Previous pauses occurred in February and March under the Biden administration.
