According to the Associated Press on July 2, the US Pentagon once again suspended arms deliveries to Ukraine. For more than three years, US weapons have been used to strengthen Ukraine's defense against Russia. The cessation of aid could weaken Kiev's ability to respond to deadly ballistic missile attacks. Officials said the decision was made because they feared that America's weapons stocks were too low. The report said that Ukraine has always needed an air defense system. In response, the US provided the “Patriot” system, the “National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System”, and the “Hawk” air defense system. However, these demands clash with similar needs in the Middle East, and the reality of the US military is that they do not have enough ammunition to maintain high-frequency ammunition deliveries, while also providing training equipment for troops and building reserves for possible future conflicts. The new moratorium covers “Patriot” missiles, AIM-7 “Sea Sparrow” air-to-air missiles, and short-range “Stinger” missiles. The Trump administration's suspension is part of the Pentagon's global review of what ammunition it supplies, where to deliver it, and the impact on its own inventories. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said at a briefing on the 2nd: “We can't distribute weapons everywhere in the world. We must take care of the American people and protect our country and our military around the world.”
