U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.

A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.

    No he will stop.

    It costs too much money to waste continual war. It doesn’t make sense to continually be at war.

    He only did this because Ukraine wanted to join NATO.

    And Putin didn’t want NATO on his front doorstep.

    You’ve been brainwashed by western media into thinking that he’s the evil one but he’s protecting his boarders from the imminent threat of NATO.

    Maybe stop being so naive and think outside your box.

    If your family was fighting for their lives, they’d give up a little bit of land for some security.

    Of course you have no idea what that’s like, because you live in your sheltered little world, behind a computer screen.

      Right he will stop. Talk about being brain washed and naive!

      You’re regurgitating Kremlin propaganda, nato is a defense treaty.

      Jfc your lack of ability to understand the situation astounds me.

      Keep shilling for putin and his continuous land grabs. Keep excusing that all of this is his fault.

      I pitty you.

        Yeah and they call the American war machine the defence budget.

        Just because it’s called defence, doesn’t mean they won’t attack.

        Don’t be so naive.

        They prodded the bear with threatening to join NATO. And they got the whip.

          Right, and every other country who wanted to join nato? Maybe it’s because they were concerned for russias consistent aggression to their neighbour’s? Imagine being such a limp dick you invade another country only to be checked by what should have been a push over, and has now cost almost a million casualties, and depleting tank stocks, and to have naive people defend your aggression as if it was some sort of 5d chess move to defend yourself by showcasing how shitty your army is. Lol.

          Nato is a defense agreement, against aggression like say the aggression that russia is doing.

          Seriously, you naivity is showing.
