US is halting shipments of some air defence missiles and other weapons previously promised to Kyiv. Certain munitions were previously promised under the Biden administration to support its defences. White House: "The strength of the United States Armed Forces remains unquestioned — just ask Iran" The Pentagon review determined stocks were too low on some previously pledged weapons. The US Department of Defence did not provide details on which specific weapons were being held back. Russia launched a record 5,438 drones against Ukraine across the month of June. Merz stressed that Germany will not become a party to the war. He pointed out that the same principle applies to other cruise missiles already supplied to Ukraine. The key difference lies in the warhead design.
