Trump suspends US military aid to Ukraine

The suspension of military aid was confirmed by a White House employee to Reuters agency on Monday (03). “The president made it clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to this goal. We are leaving and reviewing our help to ensure that it is contributing to a solution. “

So far, the Ukraine has not spoken out about the suspension of American military aid. According to Ukrainian newspapers, Zelensky is expected to comment on Tuesday (04) in the morning.

The measure occurs days after the mouth-back between Trump and Zelensky in the White House. The discussion began when Trump and Vance began to charge Zelensky’s “more gratitude” for US support, while reinforcing the need for a peace agreement, even if it involves concessions to Russia. The US president even suggested that without a “more flexible” position of the Ukrainian government, the United States could reconsider his help to Kiev.

Zelensky spoke in the conversation about the negotiations and agreements that Ukraine had already made with Russia, remembering shortly after Putin broke all these agreements. The president thus emphasized the need for US security guarantees for Ukraine this time. The tension climbed quickly, with JD Vance criticizing Zelensky for exposing his demands in the presence of the American press.

Trump said on Monday (3) that “it will not tolerate much longer” Zelensky’s position on a peace agreement with Russia. Trump’s statement was a response to Zelensky’s statements on Sunday (2), when the Ukrainian leader said an agreement with Russia “is still very, far away.”

“This was the worst statement Zelensky could have made, and the United States won’t tolerate it for much longer!” Trump wrote on his social network, Truth Social.

“That’s what I’ve been saying, this guy doesn’t want peace while he has the support of the United States.”

The US president also criticized Zelensky’s meeting with European leaders this weekend in London to discuss a security plan for Ukraine. “Europe, at the meeting with Zelensky, made it clear that it cannot do the work without the United States. It was probably not the best statement in terms of showing strength against Russia. What were you thinking about? ”Asked Trump.
