US suspends supply of certain weapons to Ukraine - German general
Publications. The Atlantic published an article in which it claims, with reference to a German general, that the United States suspended the supply of certain types of weapons to Ukraine. We are talking about certain systems that, according to the source, are temporarily not being transferred to Kyiv.
The general did not specify which types of weapons were subject to the restrictions, but noted that the decision «is related to strategic considerations and internal US planning for global defence priorities».
US position
There has been no official confirmation from the White House or the Pentagon. US officials have previously stated that support for Ukraine «remains steady», but emphasised that The types and amounts of assistance can be adjusted depending on the situation at the front and the US's own needs.
Context: changing priorities
Analysts note that in 2025, Washington faces simultaneous challenges in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. This could lead to:
temporary pauses in the supply of certain systems;
redirecting some of the weapons produced to other theatres of operations;
reviewing priorities for long-range systems and missile defence.
The Atlantic notes that such pauses do not mean a withdrawal of support, but indicate increased US attention to its own defence stockpiles.
Regional response
In the EU, discussions about US aid to Ukraine continue. Some European politicians warn that European countries will have to increase their defence support for Kyiv if the US slows down the pace of supplies.
The Ukrainian side has not officially commented on the situation, but previously called on its partners Avoid pauses in military support, especially in the context of active hostilities.
