Recall
The White House confirmed that the US is stopping the supply of some types of weapons to Ukraine due to low levels of its own military reserves. This decision, as explained by the White House, is related to the US Department of Defense's review of military assistance to other countries.
Ukraine will have enough weapon and missile stocks for Western systems until the end of summer, after which a critical moment may arise. The cessation of Patriot, GMLRS, and AIM-7 supplies could lead to a loss of effectiveness for air defense and HIMARS.
