Informed sources ⁣revealed that the U.S. Defense ​Secretary did not inform the White House about his decision to halt weapons ‍shipments to Ukraine.

according to webangah News‌ Agency, citing CNN, knowledgeable sources reported that U.S. Defense secretary Pete‍ Hegst had not communicated with the White House regarding suspending arms deliveries to Ukraine.

The report states that Hegst unilaterally decided to pause part of the U.S. military aid shipments to Ukraine. The ⁣U.S. Secretary of State and Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine were also ​unaware of this decision and learned about it through media reports.

Earlier,sources speaking with Politico emphasized ⁤that the Pentagon’s⁢ move to suspend weapons transfers ⁤surprised members of ​congress and State Department officials.

They added that this decision appeared to have been⁢ made ⁢with minimal⁣ coordination ​within the Trump administration. Some members of the U.S. Joint ‌Chiefs of Staff opposed the Pentagon’s move.

The U.S. Defense⁤ Department stated it suspended shipments of air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine due to dwindling stockpiles in its own arsenals.

In response, Ukraine’s Foreign ⁣Ministry summoned⁤ Washington’s chargé ⁤d’affaires, john Ginkell, over America’s⁤ decision to halt military aid deliveries.
