Hi, As you know, articles can be a tricky topic. It would be easier to respond if you supplied complete sentences to give at least some context. Best wishes, Clive

Hi,

Russia is cutting (on??) procurement of new weapons.

Russia is cutting (on??) the procurement of new weapons.

You can't say 'cutting on'.

'Cutting' can mean either reducing or eliminating, depending on context.

'Cutting down on' means reducing.

As regards articles, hmmm
