Pentagon halts some missile shipments to Ukraine due to low stockpiles in the US

The slowing of some weapons shipments promised to Kyiv by former U.S. President Joe Biden's administration came in recent days, they said, adding that air defence interceptors to help knock down Russian drones and projectiles are among the items delayed. "This decision is certainly very unpleasant for us," Fedir Venislavskyi, a lawmaker from the ruling Servant of the People party and a member of parliament's defence committee, told reporters in Kyiv. In recent weeks, Russia has intensified air attacks on Ukraine's cities, on several nights launching hundreds of drones and missiles at a time, leading to widespread damage and an increase in civilian casualties.
