Stopping the delivery of munitions and other military aid including air defence systems likely would be a blow to Ukraine as it contends with some of Russia's largest missile and drone attacks of the three-year-old war.

“This decision was made to put America’s interests first following a DOD (Department of Defence) review of our nation’s military support and assistance to other countries across the globe,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said.
