Trump Halts U.S. Military Aid to Ukraine, Escalating Diplomatic Tensions

The decision follows a contentious Oval Office meeting with Zelensky, potentially leaving Ukraine vulnerable and Europe under pressure to fill the gap.

  • President Trump has suspended over $1 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, demanding Kyiv commit to peace talks with Russia.
  • The aid freeze affects critical weapons and munitions already in transit, raising concerns about Ukraine's defense capabilities.
  • European leaders face mounting pressure to compensate for the loss of U.S. military support, with experts questioning their capacity to fully replace it.
  • The move follows a public dispute between Trump and Zelensky, where the U.S. president accused the Ukrainian leader of lacking commitment to peace.
  • Analysts warn the suspension could weaken Ukraine's air defense systems and embolden Russian military actions in the coming months.
