Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, including weapons and ammunition currently in transit or in transit zones such as Poland, according to AP.

The decision came following a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Zelensky’s stance and that of European leaders regarding the conflict in Ukraine, stating that the U.S. is no longer willing to tolerate the current situation, Bild reports.

The White House emphasized that the suspension of aid will remain in effect until it is confirmed that Ukraine is committed to peace negotiations with Russia.

A White House official stated, “The President has made it clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be equally committed to this goal. We are suspending and reviewing our aid to ensure it contributes to resolving the issue.”

This decision has caused concern in Ukraine, where it is seen as support for Russia and an attempt to pressure Kyiv into adopting a weaker position in negotiations.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the U.S. has allocated billions of dollars in military aid, including the supply of advanced weaponry and demining programs. The suspension of this support could significantly impact Ukraine’s defense capabilities and alter the dynamics of the conflict in the region, notes the Huffington Post.

Additionally, the Trump administration is considering easing sanctions against Russia, which could become part of a broader strategy to reach a peace agreement, according to The Guardian.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that America’s economic interests in Ukraine could provide more reliable security guarantees than a military presence.

The suspension of military aid to Ukraine and the potential easing of sanctions against Russia indicate a major shift in U.S. foreign policy aimed at achieving peace in the region. However, these moves are sparking debate and concerns both domestically and among international partners.
