Pentagon halts some missile exports over low stockpile concerns.
The Pentagon announced a pause on some missile shipments to Ukraine due to marginal stockpiles, as global stockpile management enters reassessment.
Officials emphasized this is a temporary measure aimed at ensuring U.S. defense readiness amid escalating global tensions, including the Taiwan and Gulf regions.
The move sparked opposition from lawmakers who argue it weakens Ukraine at a critical moment against the Russian offensive, prompting calls for accelerated production backing.
Ukraine’s government responded with concern but remains hopeful as U.S. Congress has signaled readiness to approve additional defense funding.
