Analysts say Ukraine’s European allies can fill some of the gaps and provide artillery systems. But they don’t possess alternatives to the U.S.-made HIMARS missiles and air defense systems, especially Patriots, which are crucial to help defend Ukrainian cities.

Gen. H.R. McMaster (Ret.) joins the ‘Brian Kilmeade Show’ to discuss the U.S. decision to pause some weapons deliveries to Ukraine and why he believes Russian president Vladimir Putin is intensifying his campaign.

The suspension includes air defense interceptors, and it will directly affect Ukraine’s ability to fend off escalating Russian air assaults.
