Details : Sources in the White House and Congress report that the suspended shipments in Poland included over two dozen Patriot PAC-3 missiles, more than two dozen Stinger air defence systems, Hellfire air-to-ground missiles and over 90 AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles.

The Pentagon clarified that this does not signal a complete halt to aid for Ukraine. Instead, it is preparing options for continued military support aligned with President Trump’s goal of ending the war.

Background:

• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is engaging with the US at working levels to clarify details regarding the reported suspension of military aid.
• NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said he understands the US administration’s desire to prioritise its own interests, but still calls for continued military support for Ukraine.
