The Pentagon criticized former President Joe Biden for what it considered “excessive” provision of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that under former President Joe Biden, the United States distributed weapons “without thinking.” This changed with the arrival of current President Donald Trump.
In response to a reporter’s question, “Do you think the Biden administration has effectively opened the door to Ukraine and told them to take whatever they want, without monitoring the quantities of weapons being transferred? Is that one of the reasons you’re inspecting the warehouses?” Parnell replied, “I think under the Biden administration, we’ve been distributing weapons and ammunition for a very long time without even thinking about the quantities we have.”
He added, “I believe the new president was elected so we can put our country first and protect our homeland. Part of our job is to provide the president with data that will enable him to assess how much munitions we currently have and where we’ve been sending them. That analysis is underway now.”
Last Tuesday, Politico revealed that US arms and ammunition shipments to Ukraine had been suspended due to depleted US stockpiles.
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly confirmed the decision to suspend supplies to NBC, noting that the decision was made to put American interests first.
For his part, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the news that the United States had suspended some arms shipments to Kyiv, saying, “The fewer weapons are delivered to Ukraine, the closer we are to the end of the special military operation.”
