According to online reports, U.S. congressmen and experts questioned the Trump administration's decision to suspend the supply of some air defense weapons to Ukraine, believing that the move may delay the process of ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They refuted the White House's claim that "U.S. weapons stocks are in critical condition." Many people said that the weapons currently urgently needed by Ukraine are not urgently needed in other regions, so there is no need to immediately stop delivering these weapons. "We do need to replenish inventories, but the solution should be to speed up production rather than cut off supplies to Ukraine," said Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut. A European official said a NATO ally had urged the U.S. Department of Defense to reconsider the decision. John Herbst, director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasian Center, said the U.S. move contradicted a series of tough actions taken by Trump and his team last week. He was referring to the agreement reached during the NATO summit to increase defence-related spending to 5% of GDP.
