# Ukraine summoned a US diplomat, urging its key ally not to cut or delay critical military aid after the White House said it was halting some weapons shipments. Kyiv said it had not been told about the halt to aid, which could thwart its ability to fend off escalating Russian air attacks. Moscow revelled in the decision, saying it could bring the end of the war closer. Kyiv has long feared halts to US aid after Donald Trump criticised the billions of dollars in support and weapons sent by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
