Democratic Rep. Eugene Vindman said he is “furious” that the Pentagon has frozen some shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine. 

“Halting crucial shipments of U.S. weapons — such as Patriot missiles and artillery — endangers both Ukrainian lives and territory,” stated the Army veteran from Virginia on X.

“The Ukrainian people are bravely resisting Putin’s invasion,” he continued. “It’s crucial we adjust our strategy to ensure our Ukrainian allies receive the necessary support in their battle for freedom.”

Fox News confirmed Wednesday that the U.S. has stopped sending weapons such as Patriot missile interceptors and 155 mm artillery shells.

“This decision prioritizes American interests,” clarified Anna Kelly, the White House deputy press secretary, in a statement also provided to Fox News Digital. “The United States Armed Forces’ power remains indisputable — just ask Iran.”

A senior defense official told Politico the Pentagon’s review revealed that stockpiles of Patriot interceptors, precision-guided 155 mm shells and other critical munitions had dropped to levels deemed insufficient to meet U.S. contingency plans.

The Army has already quietly quadrupled its procurement targets for Patriot interceptors, but defense analysts say replenishment will take time.
