U.S. President Donald Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy after Friday’s heated White House meeting.
U.S. media now quoting White House sources that President Trump wants to see Zelenskyy make good-faith commitments to ending the war.
In just the latest development, the U.S. is now temporarily suspending all military aid to Ukraine and according to the New York Times it won’t resume until President Trump has determined that Ukraine was demonstrably committed to peace negotiations with Russia.
Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy earlier said he didn’t believe the war with Russia would end anytime soon, drawing an angry response from Trump who called it the worst statement that could have been made by the Ukrainian leader and that America would not put up with it any longer.
