Officials in Kiev are seeking clarification on a US decision to halt a delivery of air defense munitions to Ukraine, which a White House spokesperson said was taken to “put America’s interests first.”

“We’re now checking with the Americans what’s really happening,” an anonymous Ukrainian official was cited as saying by the Washington Post on 2 July.

Other Ukrainian officials were “silent or declined to answer, and seem to have been caught by surprise by the news,” the report added.

The US Department of Defense announced halting shipments of air defense missiles and other precision munitions over concerns that stockpiles were running low.
