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.

    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.
