Pete Hegseth (R), the U.S. Defense Secretary, Halted an Agreed Shipment of Military Aid to Ukraine, due to Baseless Concerns that U.S. Stockpiles of Weapons have run too Low. A batch ofAair Defense Missiles and other Precision Munitions were due to be sent to Ukraine to Aid it in its ongoing War with Russia, which launched a Full-Scale Invasion of its Neighbor in 2022. The Aid was Promised by the U.S. during Joe Biden’s (D) Administration in 2024.
Hegseth has now Halted U.S. Military Supplies to Ukraine on Three occasions, due to Concerns that the U.S. own Weapons Stockpile is Running too low. But, the Decision Surprised Members of Congress, as well as Ukraine, and the U.S.’s European Allies. Democrats said there is No Evidence that American Weapon stocks are in Decline.
“We are not at any lower point, stockpile wise, than we’ve been in the three and a half years of the Ukraine Conflict,” Adam Smith (D-WA, 9th District), a Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee. Smith said that His Staff had “seen the numbers” on Weapon Supplies and that there is No Justification to Suspend Aid to Ukraine.
The Weapons being Delayed include Dozens of Patriot Interceptor Missiles that can Defend against Russian Missile Attacks, as well as Howitzers and other Missile systems. Russia has recently Stepped-Up its Bombardment of Ukrainian Cities, using Missiles and Drones, to Wreak Havoc and Terror among Ukrainian Civilians. The Delay in getting Help to Fend-Off these Attacks is “Painful”, a Senior Ukrainian Lawmaker said last week.
“This decision is certainly very unpleasant for us,” said Fedir Venislavskyi, a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament’s Defense Committee, according to Reuters. “It’s painful, and against the background of the terrorist attacks which Russia commits against Ukraine.”
