Trump suspends all US military aid to Ukraine after Zelenskyy clash

·

American media outlets are today reporting that US President Donald Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine, demanding that Ukrainian officials demonstrate a commitment to peace negotiations.

“The president has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well,” an official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The New York Post.

“We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution.”

The decision follows a heated White House confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whom Trump accused of not wanting peace and of relying too heavily on US and European support.

Trump expressed frustration after Zelenskyy stated that the war with Russia was “very, very far away”, calling it “the worst statement that could have been made.”

Trump reiterated his belief that a deal with Russia and Ukraine could be reached quickly, stating, “It takes two to tango” and suggesting those unwilling to negotiate “won’t be around for long.”

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to Ukraine, stressing that the US remains vital in securing peace and advocating for continued military and economic pressure on Russia.
