Ukraine is no longer a priority.
They are losing their war, very badly, and they admit that they are ending the “counteroffensive” and that it was a complete failure.
The US is going to have to scale back this war, and apparently, denying Zelensky the shells he’s asking for is the beginning of that scaling back.

The US will give Israel tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells that were originally set aside for Ukraine, Axios reported on Thursday. The Israeli military reportedly told the Pentagon that it needed the shells to prepare for a ground invasion of Gaza.
The US maintains a stockpile of ammunition at a facility in Israel, which only US forces have access to. Earlier this year, the US began taking shells from this facility and another stockpile in South Korea in order to meet Ukraine’s massive demand for ammo.
Israeli officials told the news site that the US will now be refilling this stockpile with ammunition from its own stocks that had been earmarked for Ukraine, at the direct request of the Israeli government. The officials said that the shells will arrive in Israel in the coming weeks.
The report comes a day after US President Joe Biden visited Israel. After Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, the latter said that the US president had promised him a “massive, unprecedented” package of military aid.
The people who run America hate Russia more than anything, and they were willing to keep going with this thing for as long as they could – but then all of a sudden their home base was under attack.
And things are really looking bad for Israel.
