Trump Administration Pauses Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Ongoing Tensions with Zelenskyy

US President Donald Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine until he determines the country's leaders are committed to good-faith negotiations for peace. This move comes after a heated Oval Office exchange between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

    1. The era of relying on others to address fundamental international challenges on our behalf is over.
    1. On the surface, this looks really bad. It looks like he is pushing us towards capitulation, meaning (accepting) Russia's demands. To stop aid now means to help Putin.
    1. Ukraine is absolutely determined to continue cooperation with the US.
    1. We have already had talks and other steps to come soon. It is very important that we try to make our diplomacy really substantive to end this war the soonest possible.
    2. I think our relationship (with the US) will continue, because it's more than an occasional relationship.
    3. Today, Ukrainian and American teams began working on an upcoming meeting. We're seeing forward momentum.
    1. Let's be clear – this is not about bringing peace. Donald Trump is siding with Russia, Putin, and dictators across the world over our allies and the defense of democracy.
    1. Trump delivers stick to democratic Ukraine. Trump gives nothing but carrots for autocratic, imperial Russia.
    1. Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon Nato, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin's brutal aggression.
    1. What we need to hear from President Zelenskyy is that he has regret for what happened.
    2. If it becomes apparent that President Zelensky's either personal motivations or political motivations are divergent from ending the fighting in his country, then I think we have a real issue on our hands.
