Recently, U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin announced that the military aid of the United States and its allies to Ukraine will slow down because it is difficult to meet Ukraine's demand for weapons and ammunition. The US media speculated that since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has provided more than 1 million large-caliber shells to Ukraine. After that, the US ammunition inventory has been in a hurry, and the ammunition inventory of NATO countries has also reached the red line. According to data from the German Institute, the shells and tanks provided by Norway and Slovenia alone exceeded 40%. At the same time, Ukraine Prime Minister Smegal also said that Ukraine is now in urgent need of new ammunition due to the battlefield situation. So what is the current situation in Russia and Ukraine?

Since Putin announced its entry into the four places of Russia and entered a wartime state, the situation in Russia and Ukraine has become very tense and has entered a white-hot stage. And from the current perspective, the Ukrainian offensive has been eased, and the Russian counterattack has become more fierce. Russia now uses drones to carry out large-scale air strikes against Ukrainian air defense system vulnerabilities to attack Ukrainian infrastructure, cut off its support, and caused one-third of the power loss. The Ukrainian counterattack launched by the Ukrainian army in the Khlsong area and the Donbas area can also be said to have fallen into a state of stagnation. The current situation is very unfavorable for the Ukrainian army. Both Russia and Ukraine are gathering forces in the Khlsong area and are expected to launch a decisive battle in Khlsong. So at such a moment when Khlsson is about to fight, the United States has slowed down its military aid to Ukraine. Does this mean that after the weapon inventory is in a hurry, the United States will cut off military aid to Ukraine? In this regard, I have the following views:

First of all, the continued tug-of-war has left both Russia and Ukraine, as well as the , which supports Ukraine behind it, and after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Western countries are facing the energy crisis , and they are already unable to take care of themselves. EU has begun to reduce reimbursement of military aid to Ukraine, and internal discrepancies are obvious. US Defense Secretary Austin publicly stated not long ago that he would suspend assistance to Ukraine's high-end weapons. From this, it can be seen that after supporting Ukraine for several consecutive months, the inventory of the US conventional weapons has been seriously insufficient. At present, the Ukrainian army is in a tight war on the front line, and the Russian army has begun to counterattack. The United States is not good for emptying its assets to assist Ukraine at this time.

Secondly, Russia and Ukraine may usher in a decisive battle in Khlson. Ukraine wants high-end weapons, and the U.S. production obviously cannot keep up with the Ukrainian army's consumption on the battlefield. The Russian-Ukraine conflict has been going on for eight months. With such uncontrollable aid, the United States has lost the original purpose of profiting in the conflict. Moreover, the Ukrainian army's use of high-precision weapons on the battlefield caused very limited damage to the Russian army. Zelensky is ungrateful, and his attitude is also very unhappy for the United States, so the United States may still cut off its aid to Ukraine.
Finally, there have been many voices in the United States that oppose it providing military aid to Ukraine, and the United States is now facing the crisis of inflation , and coupled with the urgent US ammunition inventory, these news are not beneficial to the Democratic Party. The US midterm elections are underway, and the Biden administration is trying to cover up its political inaction by inspiring the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. If Ukraine is really defeated, the US's national credibility will plummet. Even NATO allies may face the risk of breaking up relations with the United States because they follow the United States to support Ukraine, but in the end they will not be able to get any benefits. Therefore, there is another possibility that the United States will slow down its aid to Ukraine. It is estimated that it is only a matter of time and will continue to assist Ukraine in the future.
To sum up, as of now, the United States slowed down its military aid to Ukraine, which not only cooled down the conflict, eased the tension, but also gave its domestic weapons and ammunition a chance to restore inventory.In the short term, the United States should not completely cut off military aid to Ukraine, but instead maintains NATO alliances through delaying the military strategy, eases internal conflicts and urgent public opinion situations, and cools down the remarks of nuclear war .
