U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments [Video]

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

Spokesperson Tammy Bruce insists communication took place—but Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense says no official notice was ever received. With Trump yet to greenlight new defense packages and stockpiles running low, pressure mounts as the war with Russia enters a critical phase. Are U.S.-Ukraine ties beginning to fray?

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’:  Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine [Video]

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’: Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on. #Ukraine #USUkraine #Trump #AmericaFirst #MilitaryAid #WeaponSuspension #Pentagon #CapReview #Dnipro #Sumy #UkraineRussia #Zelensky #NATO #ForeignPolicy #AirDefense #Missiles #Artillery #USForeignPolicy #UkraineWar #USInternational
