US halts some weapons shipments to Ukraine, White House says

The US has paused some weapons shipments to Ukraine amid Russia's intensified conflict, prioritizing American interests following a Department of Defense review of military support to other nations, says the White House. Air defense missiles and precision munitions are reportedly affected. Despite US officials emphasizing ongoing aid options, concerns over depleting US military stockpiles have led to the decision, which the Ukrainian government has yet to comment on.
