Ukraine fears increased Russian aggression after US halt of weapon supply

# Ukraine has warned an interruption of US weapon shipments will encourage Russia to prolong the war, now in its fourth year. The White House earlier said it had cut off some weapons deliveries to Ukraine. Spokesperson Anna Kelly says the decision was taken to put America’s interests first following a Defence Department review of military support to other countries. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky says the two countries were now clarifying the details on supplies. The Foreign ministry emphasised the need for Kyiv to strengthen its air defence.
