It\u2019s unclear exactly when the weapons started moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the pause on some shipments last week to allow the Pentagon to assess its weapons stockpiles, in a move that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/07\/08\/trump-caught-off-guard-by-dod-pause-on-ukraine-arms-deliveries-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/07\/08\/trump-caught-off-guard-by-dod-pause-on-ukraine-arms-deliveries-report\/\">caught the White House by surprise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affected were Patriot missiles, the precision-guided GMLRS, Hellfire missiles, Howitzer rounds and more, taking not only Ukrainian officials and other allies by surprise but also U.S. lawmakers and other parts of the Trump administration, including the State Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was not clear if a pause on Patriot missiles would hold. The $4 million munition is in high demand and was key to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/06\/23\/iran-launches-missile-attacks-on-us-bases-in-qatar-and-iraq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/06\/23\/iran-launches-missile-attacks-on-us-bases-in-qatar-and-iraq\/\">defending a major U.S. air base in Qatar last month<\/a> as Iran launched a ballistic missile attack in response to the U.S. targeting its nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump announced Monday that the U.S. would continue to deliver defensive weapons to Ukraine. He has sidestepped questions about who ordered the pause in exchanges with reporters this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would know if a decision is made. I will know,\u201d Trump said Wednesday. \u201cI will be the first to know. In fact, most likely I\u2019d give the order, but I haven\u2019t done that yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked a day earlier who ordered the pause, he said, \u201cI don\u2019t know. Why don\u2019t you tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has privately expressed frustration with Pentagon officials for announcing the pause \u2014 a move that he felt wasn\u2019t properly coordinated with the White House, according to three people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon has denied that Hegseth acted without consulting the president, saying, \u201cSecretary Hegseth provided a framework for the President to evaluate military aid shipments and assess existing stockpiles. This effort was coordinated across government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes as Russia has fired escalating air attacks on Ukraine, with a barrage that the largest number of drones fired in a single night in the three-year-old war, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has become increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he wasn\u2019t happy with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPutin is not, he\u2019s not treating human beings right,\u201d Trump said during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, explaining the pause\u2019s reversal. \u201cIt\u2019s killing too many people. So we\u2019re sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I\u2019ve approved that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 155mm artillery rounds have become some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2023\/04\/23\/why-the-155mm-round-is-so-critical-to-the-war-in-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2023\/04\/23\/why-the-155mm-round-is-so-critical-to-the-war-in-ukraine\/\">most-used munitions of the war<\/a>. Each round is about 2 feet long, weighs about 100 pounds and is 155mm, or 6.1 inches, in diameter. They are used in Howitzer systems, which are towed large guns identified by the range of the angle of fire that their barrels can be set to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Howitzer fires can strike targets up to 15 to 20 miles away, depending on what type of round and firing system is used, which makes them highly valued by ground forces to take out enemy targets from a protected distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. has provided more than 3 million 155mm rounds to Ukraine since Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022. It has sent more than $67 billion in overall weapons and military assistance to Ukraine in that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writer Aamer Madhani contributed
