The Pentagon announced on July 2 that it was pausing some shipments of weapons to Ukraine again, following more than three years of deliveries while Kyiv defended itself against a Russian invasion.

During a Wednesday press briefing, chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the Department of Defense was conducting a “capability review” to ensure U.S. military aid “aligns with our defense priorities.”
