US pauses all military aid to Ukraine

U.S. President Donald Trump paused military aid to Ukraine following last week’s clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Reuters writes.

Trump upended U.S. policy on Ukraine and Russia upon taking office in January, opening talks with Moscow. The reversal culminated in an explosive confrontation with Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday, in which Trump upbraided him for being insufficiently grateful for Washington’s backing.

“President Trump has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution,” a U.S. official said on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
