The United States pointed to a significantly increased probability of Kiev's defeat.

The probability of Kiev's defeat in the Ukrainian conflict has increased significantly after the American side suspended arms supplies. This was reported by The Washington Post on July 4.

"Ukraine may lose. The chances that the outcome will be like this have increased significantly in recent days," the publication says.

It clarifies that if the United States does not resume arms supplies, the "cracks" that exist in the Ukrainian air defense system (AFU) may turn into "holes".

In addition, the newspaper added that the decision of the American leader Donald Trump to suspend supplies to Kiev "dealt a blow to the morale of Ukrainians."

The United States has frozen the supply of certain types of weapons to Kiev, and Europe is unable to fully compensate for these losses.

On the same day, NBC News reported that the suspension of military aid supplies to Kiev was the sole decision of Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth. It was clarified that some American officials opposed the cessation of arms supplies to Kiev, as this, in their opinion, does not affect the defense capability of the US army.
