US President Donald Trump has suspended military aid to Ukraine following the conflict with Vladimir Zelensky last Friday, Reuters reports, citing a White House spokesman.
“President Trump has made it clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are suspending and reviewing our assistance to make sure it is contributing to a solution [to the conflict],” the unnamed White House official said.
The decision will remain in place until Trump deems Ukraine ready for peace talks, the Associated Press interlocutor said.
Earlier on Monday, Trump again said that Zelensky should be more grateful for American support. This is how he commented on an Associated Press report that quoted Zelensky saying that the end of the war is “very, very far away.”
This situation really shows how complex international politics can be when military aid is tied directly to diplomatic gestures and expectations. It feels like a high-stakes game of chess where every move impacts not just the countries involved but the broader quest for peace. It will be interesting to see how this pause in support influences the ground realities and future negotiations 🤔🌍
This situation is really intense and complicated. It feels like there’s so much pressure on everyone involved, and the stakes are incredibly high. Hoping for genuine peace talks soon because endless conflict hurts everyone 😞✌️🌍. It’s tough to see aid paused when people on the ground need support, but I guess leaders have to balance a lot. Let’s keep hoping for a breakthrough that brings real hope and safety for all affected.
