Assessment.
The United States paused
weapons supplies to Ukraine, including critical air defense
interceptors, artillery shells, missiles, and rockets. Western
media outlets reported that sources stated on July 2 that the US pause
on weapons supplies to Ukraine will affect dozens of PAC-3 interceptors
for Patriot air defense systems, dozens of Stinger man-portable air
defense systems, thousands of 155mm high explosive howitzer munitions,
over 100 Hellfire air-to-ground missiles, over 250 Guided Multiple
Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets, dozens of grenade launchers, and
dozens of AIM air-to-air missiles.[1] Familiar sources told Politico
on July 1 that the United States decided in early June 2025 to withhold
some of the aid that the United States promised Ukraine under the Biden
administration but that the decision is only now taking effect.[2] Politico
reported that the halted weapons come from two different streams of
Biden administration-era support — weapons from drawdowns of current US
stockpiles that the US Department of Defense (DoD) received money to
replenish, and the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, in which the
United States funds the purchase of weapons for Ukraine from US defense
firms. White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly stated on July 1
that US authorities made the decision following a DoD review of US
military support to states around the world.[3]
Six defense officials, congressional officials, and other sources told
NBC that the Pentagon ordered the pause after a review of US munitions
stockpiles.[4]
NBC's defense and congressional sources stated that the United States
could hold up the weapons flow to Ukraine until the assessment of US
stockpiles is complete but that the United States could extend the pause
of military assistance to Ukraine even longer if the weapons are in
short supply or if the United States needs to supply them to other parts
of the world.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MFA) stated on July 2 that continued deliveries of previously allocated
US defense packages are critically important, particularly in order to
strengthen Ukraine's air defense.[5]
The Ukrainian MFA emphasized that any delay in supporting Ukraine's
defense capabilities will encourage Russia to continue its war — and not
seek peace. The Ukrainian MFA stated that US-Ukrainian consultations
about defense supplies are ongoing at all levels and that Ukraine will
speak with the United States about finding mutually beneficial solutions
to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities.
The
decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine will likely force Ukrainian
forces to continue to husband materiel, although the exact timing of
the planned deliveries that the United States paused remains unclear at
this time. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (MoD) stated that
Ukraine had not received any official notifications about any suspension
or revision to the delivery schedules of the agreed US military aid
prior to the US announcement.[6] The New York Times (NYT)
reported that US officials stated that the United States had not
scheduled to ship the affected munitions to Ukraine for several months,
but the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that US weapons shipments already in Poland were halted as of July 1.[7] A Trump administration official told Politico that
the administration had not requested any further aid but that there is
enough aid left over from the Biden administration to last Ukraine
"several more months."[8] The deputy commander of a Ukrainian battalion told the Washington Post in
an article published on July 2, however, that Ukrainian forces already
have to concentrate on holding positions and conserving resources rather
than advancing.[9]
Ukrainian forces have had to husband critical materiel, including air
defense interceptors, GMLRS rockets, and artillery shells, during
previous suspensions of US aid. Ukraine's European partners are
increasing their efforts to provide Ukraine with military assistance and
the Ukrainian defense industrial base (DIB) continues its efforts to
become self-sufficient, but only the United States can provide certain
weapons systems at scale and quickly.[10]
Ukrainian forces very likely will have to conserve materiel again
should the United States continue to suspend weapons deliveries.
The suspension of US aid to Ukraine will likely accelerate Russian gains on the battlefield, as previous US aid suspensions have in the past. Delays in US military aid in Fall 2023 and Winter-Spring 2024 set conditions for Russian forces to make more accelerated battlefield gains than Russian forces had previously been able to make.[11] Russian forces significantly intensified offensive operations near Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast in mid-January 2024 and concentrated significant manpower and materiel to their effort to seize the settlement in mid-February 2024 amid the protracted debate in the US (from October 2023 until April 2024) about passing supplemental aid for Ukraine. Ukrainian forces also faced significant artillery constraints during the Russian offensive against Avdiivka, allowing Russian forces to attack under less pressure from Ukrainian counterbattery fire. Russian forces sustained a high tempo of offensive operations after seizing Avdiivka in order to push as far west as possible, and Russian forces subsequently launched offensive operations in Spring 2024 intended to seize Pokrovsk when the suspension of US assistance was still greatly constraining Ukrainian materiel supplies.[12] ISW assesses that Russian forces advanced roughly three kilometers per day between the suspension of US aid to Ukraine on December 6, 2023 and the resumption of aid on April 24, 2024, much of which was in Donetsk Oblast — as compared to the six months prior to the December 2023 aid suspension when Russian forces actually lost a total of roughly 203 square kilometers at a rate of 1.1 square kilometers lost per day (due to Ukraine’s gains during the 2023 counteroffensive, which was enabled by the US and other allies surging military aid to Ukraine).
Russian
forces also notably intensified offensive operations in Kursk Oblast
following the suspension of US intelligence sharing in early March 2025.[13]
Russian forces, augmented by North Korean forces, had been trying to
push Ukrainian forces from Kursk Oblast through slow, grinding advances
since the start of Ukraine's incursion in August 2024. The Trump
administration suspended US intelligence sharing with Ukraine on March
5, and Russian forces intensified offensive operations to expel
Ukrainian forces from Kursk Oblast on March 6 and 7.[14]
Ukrainian sources reportedly stated at the time that Russian forces
started making more rapid advances in Kursk Oblast on March 5 and that
the suspension of US intelligence sharing impacted Ukrainian operations
in Kursk Oblast the most. Kremlin officials at the time announced their
intention to take advantage of the suspension of US military aid and
intelligence sharing to "inflict maximum damage" to Ukrainian forces "on
the ground."[15]
Russian forces very likely exploited the US suspension of aid and
intelligence sharing in March 2025 to accelerate Russia’s ongoing
counteroffensive operation in Kursk Oblast. ISW assesses that Russian
forces advanced at a rate of about 31 square kilometers per day in
Ukraine and Kursk Oblast between the suspension of US intelligence
sharing with Ukraine on March 3, 2025 and the resumption of intelligence
sharing on March 11, 2025 — as opposed to a rate of advance of about 19
square kilometers per day in the six months prior to the intelligence
sharing suspension.
The
suspension of US aid to Ukraine will reinforce Russian President
Vladimir Putin's theory of victory that posits that Russia can win the
war of attrition by making slow, creeping advances and outlasting
Western support for Ukraine. Putin articulated a theory of
victory in June 2024 — and has emphasized this same theory of victory
since — that assumes that Russian forces will be able to continue
gradual, creeping advances indefinitely and win a war of attrition
against Ukrainian forces.[16]
Putin's theory assumes that Russia will be able to outlast pledged
Western security assistance and that Ukraine will not acquire and
sustain the manpower and materiel needed to prevent these gradual
Russian gains or to contest the initiative and conduct counteroffensive
operations to liberate Ukrainian territory. The latest US suspension of
aid will strengthen Putin's belief that time is on Russia's side and his
commitment to delaying negotiations toward a peace settlement and
protracting the war.
Russia remains unlikely to make
operational-level breakthroughs in the near future. Future Russian gains
— even relatively accelerated advances following the suspension of US
aid — will likely remain gradual and creeping and result in
disproportionally high losses as Russian forces still have not restored
operational maneuver to the increasingly transparent battlefield. ISW
has observed geolocated evidence to assess that Russian forces gained
roughly 498 square kilometers in May 2025 and roughly 466 square
kilometers in June 2025, and Russian gains in January to April 2025
ranged from roughly 175 to 590 square kilometers per month. These
Russian gains are remarkably smaller than the 1,265 square kilometers
per day that ISW assesses Russian forces were gaining at the start of
Russia's full-scale invasion in March 2022.
Russia
appears, however, to be preparing to undertake likely months- and
years-long offensive campaigns — demonstrating the Russian military
command's acceptance of continued slow, gradual advances and Putin's
belief in his theory of victory. The Russian military command has
recently prioritized efforts to attack Ukraine's fortress belt in
Donetsk Oblast, a campaign that is likely to take Russia years to
achieve at Russian forces’ current tempo.[17] Russian forces may not be able to achieve these objectives by themselves. CNN reported
on July 2 that a Ukrainian intelligence assessment stated that North
Korea will likely send an additional 25,000 to 30,000 soldiers to Russia
in the coming months and that there is a "great possibility" that the
North Korean forces will augment Russian forces in Ukraine, including
"during large-scale offensive operations."[18]
Kremlin officials are responding to the US military aid suspension by publicly flouting Putin's theory of military victory as successful — in direct opposition to US President Donald Trump's stated goal of bringing Russia to the negotiating table and achieving a lasting and just peace. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on July 2 in response to the suspension of US military aid that the "fewer weapons that are supplied to Ukraine, the closer the end of the [Russian invasion of Ukraine] is."[19] Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who has been heavily involved in diplomatic and rhetorical efforts vis-à-vis Ukraine and the United States, stated that the suspension "raises questions about the West's ability to continue supporting Ukraine."[20] Russian State Duma Defense Committee Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Zhuravlev suggested that the US military aid suspension will degrade Ukraine's ability to "hold out" against Russian offensive operations and claimed that the United States will not be able to "hide" any future arms deliveries to Ukraine from Russia.[21] These Russian statements underscore how the Kremlin perceives Putin's theory of victory as it relates to Western — particularly American — military assistance to Ukraine and flout the Kremlin's goal of coercing the United States and other Western states into ceasing military assistance to Ukraine.[22] The Kremlin is capitalizing on the US aid suspension to intensify its messaging that Europe should also cease weapons supplies to Ukraine. Putin had a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron on July 2, the first Putin-Macron call in nearly three years, and used the call to reiterate boilerplate Kremlin narratives aimed at discouraging further Western military assistance to Ukraine.[23] Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesperson Maria Zakharova also criticized continued European military assistance to Ukraine.[24] The Kremlin's messaging about the suspension of US military aid to Ukraine is yet another indicator that Russia remains committed to achieving its war goals by force and is uninterested in meaningful peace negotiations to end the war.[25] These senior Russian officials’ statements indicate that suspending US military aid to Ukraine very likely will not compel Russia to conduct meaningful negotiations with Ukraine as President Trump desires, but rather embolden Moscow to continue protracting Russia’s war.
The
Kremlin is also using the US aid suspension as a basis to continue
rhetorical attacks against European defensive efforts that are in line
with Trump's initiative for Europe to shoulder more of the burden for
collective defense. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander
Grushko claimed on July 2 that the European Union's (EU) increased
defense spending and development of its DIB show that the EU is becoming
an “aggressive military bloc” that Russia will have to defend itself
against.[26]
Grushko claimed that the EU carries out NATO's tasks and that the two
organizations are deeply linked. Zakharova also claimed that the EU is
turning into a military bloc and is "pumping" Ukraine with weapons.[27] Russian Ambassador to Norway Nikolay Korchunov told the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti
in an interview published on June 30 that Norway is trying to benefit
from the "militarization" of Europe and is "pumping up" the Ukrainian
military.[28]
Korchunov claimed that Norway is intensifying NATO military exercises
on Norwegian territory near the Russian border and that Norway's
militarization will increase tension and escalation risks in the Arctic
and destabilize European security. Russian officials continue to
mischaracterize increased NATO defense spending that is aimed at
deterring war in Europe by building defense capabilities in response to
Russia’s ongoing efforts to restructure and expand Russia’s military
capabilities.[29]
The Kremlin's efforts to deter Western military assistance to Ukraine
and European rearmament efforts are part of its wider cognitive warfare
efforts that aim to shape Western decision-making and erode the West's
will to act against Russian interests and resist Russia.[30]
The US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine will particularly degrade Ukraine's ability to defend against Russia's enhanced long-range missile and drone strike capabilities that have inflicted significant civilian casualties — in sharp contrast to President Trump's stated objective of stopping civilian casualties in Ukraine. US provisions of Patriot air defense systems and interceptors have been critical for Ukraine's ability to defend against Russia's missile strikes, particularly those with ballistic missiles.[31] Russia's long-range strikes have increasingly targeted densely populated cities far from the frontline.[32] Russia has recently prioritized expanding its long-range drone and missile production and stockpiling its ballistic missiles, enabling Russia to conduct larger, more effective combined missile and drone strike series against Ukraine.[33] Russia has notably conducted five of its largest combined strikes against Ukraine throughout the full-scale invasion between March and June 2025 and is launching an increasingly high number of Shahed and decoy drones that overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses, allowing more Russian missiles to hit their targets.[34] Russia has also recently adapted its strike tactics to inflict maximum damage to civilians, including by deploying cluster munitions with delayed detonations, and Shahed drones equipped with capsules of chemical weapons and conducting "double tap" strikes that maximize casualties of civilian first responders.[35] Russia will very likely continue to increase the size of its combined strikes against Ukraine as Russia remains committed to accelerating its missile and drone production. The US suspension of critical Patriot interceptor supplies to Ukraine will likely impact Ukraine's ability to protect its critical, industrial, and civilian infrastructure. Russian forces exploited pauses in US military aid to Ukraine in late 2023 and early 2024 to conduct large-scale combined strikes designed to exhaust Ukraine's degraded air defense umbrella that was suffering from the lack of Western aid.[36] A dwindling supply of Patriot interceptors will force Ukraine to continue to make difficult defense prioritization decisions.

Russian forces continued ground assaults in the Hulyaipole direction on July 2 but did not make confirmed advances.
Unconfirmed
claims: Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces seized
Malynivka (east of Hulyaipole) and advanced north of Stepanivka
(southeast of Hulyaipole).[95]
A Russian milblogger claimed on July 2 that Russian forces attacked northeast of Hulyaipole toward Olhivske.[96]
Order
of Battle: Drone operators of the Russian 38th Motorized Rifle Brigade
(35th Combined Arms Army (CAA), Eastern Military District [EMD]) are
reportedly striking Ukrainian forces near Chervone (east of Hulyaipole).[97]
Russian forces continued ground assaults in western Zaporizhia Oblast on July 2 but did not advance.
Russian forces attacked southwest of Orikhiv near Kamyanske on July 1 and 2.[98]
Order
of Battle: Drone operators of the Russian 291st Motorized Rifle
Regiment (42nd Motorized Rifle Division, 58th CAA, Southern Military
District [SMD]) and 19th Motorized Rifle Division (58th CAA) are
reportedly operating in the Zaporizhia direction.[99]
Neither Ukrainian nor Russian sources reported ground activity in the Kherson direction on July 2.
Order
of Battle: Artillery elements of the Russian 80th Arctic Motorized
Rifle Brigade (14th Army Corps [AC], Leningrad Military District [LMD])
are reportedly striking Ukrainian forces in Kherson Oblast.[100]
Ukrainian military intelligence reportedly assassinated the first deputy commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF).
Ukrainian media sources amplified a claim from a private Russian
Telegram account on July 2 that Ukraine's Main Military Intelligence
Directorate (GUR) assassinated BSF Chief of Staff — First Deputy
Commander Vice Admiral Ildar Akhmerov in occupied Crimea.[101]
ISW has not observed confirmation of this claim. Neither Russian nor
Ukrainian officials have commented on Akhmerov's unconfirmed
assassination.
Russian Air, Missile, and Drone Campaign (Russian Objective: Target Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure in the rear and on the frontline)
Russian
forces conducted a series of missile and drone strikes against Ukraine
on the night of July 1 to 2. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that
Russian forces launched four S-300 air defense missiles from Kursk
Oblast and 114 Shahed and decoy drones from the directions of Bryansk
and Kursk cities; Shatalovo, Smolensk Oblast; Millerovo, Rostov Oblast;
and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai.[102]
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces shot down 40
drones and that 39 drones were ”lost” or suppressed by Ukrainian
electronic warfare (EW) systems. Ukrainian officials reported that
Russian drones and missiles struck civilian and residential
infrastructure facilities in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Odesa
oblasts.[103]
Ukrainian
Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Lieutenant General
Kyrylo Budanov reported that Russian forces attempted to strike, Yuzhe,
Odesa Oblast with unmanned naval drones in early June 2025 but that
Ukrainian forces repelled the drones.[104] Budanov reported that Russia is attempting to domestically produce naval drones but has not yet been successful.
Significant activity in Belarus (Russian efforts to increase its military presence in Belarus and further integrate Belarus into Russian-favorable frameworks)
Belarusian
President Alexander Lukashenko stated on July 1 that Belarus will
reduce the number of military personnel set to participate in the
September 2025 Zapad-2025 joint Russian-Belarusian military exercise by
nearly half and reposition the main maneuver away from Belarus' western
borders.[105]
It is unclear whether Lukashenko meant that the total number of Zapad
participants is to be reduced in half, or whether the Belarusian
contingent in the joint exercise is to be reduced by half.
Russia continues efforts to formalize Russian-Belarusian governmental integration. Russian state media outlet Parlamentskaya Gazeta reported
on July 1 that Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a bill to the
Russian State Duma to ratify a protocol that would allow Belarusian
citizens permanently residing in Russia to vote and run in local Russian
elections.[106]
Putin and Lukashenko signed the protocol on March 13, 2025, amending
the 1998 Russian-Belarusian treaty on Equal Rights of Citizens.
Lukashenko signed a similar protocol in January 2025.[107]
