U.S. political circles and think tanks question the Trump administration's decision to "cut off supplies to Ukraine," stating it will prolong the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

U.S. Congress members and security experts have recently raised strong doubts about the Trump administration's decision to suspend the provision of certain air defense weapons to Ukraine, pointing out that this move will delay the peace process in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and refuting the White House's explanation that it is due to "urgent weapon stock shortages." Many have indicated that the military supplies urgently needed by Ukraine are not in urgent demand elsewhere, making the halt of deliveries unnecessary.

Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal criticized, stating: "It is indeed necessary to replenish weapon stocks, but the solution is to accelerate production, not to cut off aid to Ukraine." Additionally, an anonymous European official revealed that NATO allies have pressured the U.S. Department of Defense to re-evaluate the decision to cut supplies.

John Herbst, director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, bluntly stated that this action contradicts the hardline stance of the Trump team in recent times. He specifically mentioned that just last week at the NATO summit, member countries had just reached a consensus to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which sharply contrasts with the current practice of cutting military support for Ukraine. $BTC
