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.
Edit: changed source from Bloomberg to Kyiv Independent b/c there’s no paywall and more detail in the story.
It’s delusions like these that send men to die who otherwise wouldn’t go.
otherwise? they got invaded they have no choice. Its fight and die or not fight and die
Fleeing is an option.
Do you honestly believe that Russia was going to have mass executions if Ukraine gave up without a fight?
uh yes they execute ukraine daily.
And fleeing? really? so if somebody takes your house by force and rapes your family you just flee? And then just wait untill they do it again?
yeah sounds like a great solution
During a war.
Well, there’s nothing they can do about the house but fleeing can prevent death and rape.
It’s the reality of war.
