President Trump has stopped all military aid to Ukraine.
Nigeria News Nalin It is reported that U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a moratorium on Ukraine’s U.S. military aid after a dispute with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week, White House officials told CNN.
That’s because yesterday Zelensky said he wanted to do the right thing with Trump and work under a strong leadership of the U.S. president to ensure lasting peace in Ukraine.
Since Trump stopped military aid to Ukraine, Zelensky called for a truce at sea and in the sky in his first public comments as the first step to ending the Three Years’ War and promised to sign key minerals with Washington.
“My team and I are ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership for a lasting peace,” Zelensky wrote on X.
“We didn’t go the same way as we did in Washington Friday. It’s time to get things right,” he said.
One official said that after Trump held a series of meetings with top White House national security officials, the halted aid will remain the status quo amid Trump confirmed that Zelensky had been committed to seeking peace talks.
“The president is very clear that he is focused on peace. We also need our partners to work on that goal as well. We are suspending and reviewing our aid to ensure it contributes to the solution,” White House officials said.
Trump’s amazing decision on Monday was to stop aiding Ukraine, deepening fears in Kiev, and many European capitals, the United States is moving towards allies and Moscow.
Moscow, along with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, praised Trump’s decision as a solution that could really push the Kiev regime into a peace process.
“If the United States stops military supplies, this may be the best contribution to peace,” Peskov said.
The EU, together with Ukraine, has been scrambling to support Kiev’s support, from Ukraine’s potential truce.
Urgent urgency increased last week when Trump and Zelensky clashed at the White House, as Trump warned his Ukrainian rivals would not be long without a ceasefire agreement with Moscow.
European Commission Director Ursula von der Leyen yesterday proposed an EU plan to mobilize approximately 800 billion euros (840 billion US dollars) in defense in Europe.
She said the funding would vigorously strengthen support for Ukraine and provide immediate military equipment.
