The Pentagon has paused some shipments of air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine due to concerns over depleted U.S. stockpiles, as reported by Politico on July 1, 2025. The decision, initiated by Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby in early June, follows a review showing critically low levels of U.S. artillery rounds, air defense missiles, and precision munitions. This halt comes as Ukraine faces intense Russian missile and drone attacks, raising concerns among Ukraine’s allies in Congress about its vulnerability. The White House described the move as prioritizing “America’s interests first,” while some shipments approved under the Biden administration are already in the region but have been stopped before delivery to Ukraine.
