The Trump administration's decision to halt the delivery of some weapons to Ukraine, citing a Pentagon review of its dwindling stockpiles, was a long-held concern for Kyiv that finally became a reality.

The move "was made to put America’s interests first," a White House spokeswoman said, as U.S. munitions have been depleted in recent years.

The U.S. is halting some shipments of weapons to Ukraine amid concerns that its own stockpiles have declined too much.
