美国国防部本周暂停向乌克兰运送一批武器，官员们称其担心美国武器库存不足。但据三位美国官员称，高级军官的分析发现，这项援助计划不会危及美国军方自身的弹药供应。
据多位知情人士透露，暂停运送武器的举动令美国国务院、国会议员、基辅官员和欧洲盟友措手不及。
批评这一决定的人士包括支持援助乌克兰对抗俄罗斯的共和党人和民主党人。众议院民主党领袖、来自华盛顿的亚当·史密斯表示，五角大楼以军事准备为由暂停援助，其真正原因似乎只是为了推行切断美国对乌克兰援助的议程，这种做法是不诚实的。
众议院军事委员会资深成员史密斯告诉NBC新闻：“就库存而言，我们现在的库存水平并不比乌克兰冲突三年半前水平低。”
史密斯表示，他的工作人员“已经看到了数据”，并且没有透露细节，但他表示，没有任何迹象表明存在物资短缺，需要暂停对乌克兰的援助。
据三名国会助理和一名知情的前美国官员透露，暂停向乌克兰提供军事援助是国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯单方面采取的行动。消息人士称，这是赫格塞斯第三次单独停止向乌克兰提供援助。此前两次，分别是在2月和5月，他的行动在几天后就被撤销了。
据国会助理称，两党议员对未提前收到通知感到沮丧，并正在调查这批延迟发货是否违反了授权向乌克兰提供安全援助的立法。这些议员和一些欧洲盟友正在试图查明五角大楼下令暂停援助的真正原因，并正在努力争取撤销这一决定。
The Defense Department held up a shipment of U.S. weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military’s own ammunition supplies, according to three U.S. officials.
The move to halt the weapons shipment blindsided the State Department, members of Congress, officials in Kyiv and European allies, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.
Critics of the decision included Republicans and Democrats who support aiding Ukraine’s fight against Russia. A leading House Democrat, Adam Smith of Washington, said it was disingenuous of the Pentagon to use military readiness to justify halting aid when the real reason appears to be simply to pursue an agenda of cutting off American aid to Ukraine.
“We are not at any lower point, stockpile-wise, than we’ve been in the 3½ years of the Ukraine conflict,” Smith, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, told NBC News.
Smith said that his staff has “seen the numbers” and, without going into detail, that there was no indication of a shortage that would justify suspending aid to Ukraine.
Suspending the shipment of military aid to Ukraine was a unilateral step by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to three congressional aides and a former U.S. official familiar with the matter. It was the third time Hegseth on his own has stopped shipments of aid to Ukraine, the sources said. In the two previous cases, in February and in May, his actions were reversed days later.
Lawmakers from both parties were frustrated that they were not notified in advance and were examining whether the delayed shipment violated legislation mandating security assistance for Ukraine, according to congressional aides. Those lawmakers and some European allies were trying to determine just why the Pentagon ordered the suspension and were scrambling to get it reversed.
