The US shutdown has suspended the supply of weapons to NATO and Ukraine for $ 5 billion.

The shutdown of the US government led to a delay in the supply of weapons to NATO allies and Ukraine in the amount of more than $ 5 billion. This was reported on November 9 by the Axios portal, citing data from the State Department.

"This causes real harm to both our allies and partners, as well as to American industry, in terms of delivering these critical capabilities abroad," the portal quoted a senior State Department official as saying.

Also, according to the official, deliveries of AMRAAM missiles, Aegis and HIMARS missile systems to countries such as Denmark, Croatia and Poland were suspended.
